Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a method for reading a computer screen having a set of information and a button for submitting the set of information. The method may comprise collecting the set of information; determining a set of representative information, wherein the set of representative information is a subset of the set of information; concatenating the set of representative information to form a summarized context; associating the summarized context with the button; and producing audible sound reciting the summarized context when the button receives focus from a computer mouse.

Claims

1. A computer program product for reading a computer screen having a set of information and a button for submitting the set of information, comprising:

a tangible computer usable medium having computer usable code tangibly embodied therewith, the computer usable code comprising;

computer usable program code configured to collect the set of information, wherein collecting the set of information includes parsing a FORM HTML element and a OPTGROUP element, the FORM HTML element associated with a set of information provided in a form, the OPTGROUP element associated with at least one menu list item defined in at least one OPTION element;

computer usable program code configured to determine a set of representative information, wherein the set of representative information is a subset of the set of information;

computer usable program code configured to concatenate the set of representative information to form a summarized context;

computer usable program code configured to associate the summarized context with the button; and

computer usable program code configured to produce audible sound reciting the summarized context when the button receives focus from a computer mouse.
