Abstract

A system and method for organizing one or more audio files. One or more original files are converted into the one or more audio files. The one or more original files are associated with the one or more audio files. The one or more audio files are accessed in response to a request to access the one or more audio files. The one or more audio files are communicated through an audio interface in response to a request to access the one or more audio files.

Claims

1. A method for communicating one or more audio files, the method comprising:

converting one or more original files into the one or more audio files;

associating the one or more original files with the one or more audio files;

accessing the one or more audio files in response to a request to access the one or more audio files; and

communicating the one or more audio files through an audio interface in response to the request to access the one or more audio files.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

indicating that the one or more audio files are associated with the one or more original files.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

converting text, images, sound, and rich media content of the one or more original files into the one or more audio files.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more original files include a hierarchy, and wherein the hierarchy is applied to the one or more audio files.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein a user generates the request in response to receiving audible navigation clues associated with the one or more audio files.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more audio files are communicated through a network to the audio interface of a computing device.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

providing keystroke navigation for navigating the one or more audio files associated with the one or more original files.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein a plurality of commands for navigating the one or more audio files utilizing keystroke navigation are associated with a plurality of keys of a computing device.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more original files are converted prior to a request for the one or more audio files.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more original files form an original website, and wherein the one or more audio files form an audible website

11. A server for communicating audio content, the server comprising:

the server is in communication with a network, the server hosts an original website, the server includes a program operable to;

convert one or more original files of one the original website into the one or more audio files;

associate the one or more original files with the one or more audio files;

communicate the one or more audio files through an audio interface in response to a request to access the one or more audio files.

12. The server of claim 11, wherein the program is further operable to:

indicate that the one or more original files are available as the one or more audio files.

13. The server of claim 11, wherein the program is further operable to:

convert visual and non-visual content from the one or more original files into the one or more audio files.

14. The server of claim 11, wherein the program is further operable to:

communicate audible navigation clues indicating how to navigate the one or more audio files utilizing keystroke navigation.

15. The server of claim 11, wherein the one or more audio files are created prior to the request for the one or more audio files.

16. The server of claim 11, wherein the program is further operable to:

hierarchically organize the one or more audio files associated with the one or more original files of the original website.

19. The system of claim 16, wherein the one or more original files include a hierarchy, wherein the hierarchy is applied to the one or more audio files, wherein the one or more original files are associated with an original website, and wherein the one or more audio files are associated with an audio website and are converted prior to a user requesting the one or more audio files.

20. The system of claim 16, wherein the user navigates the one or more audio files hierarchically associated with the one or more original files utilizing keystroke navigation, and wherein a plurality of commands for navigating the one or more audio files utilizing the keystroke navigation are associated with a plurality of user inputs.

17. A system for communicating audio content, the system comprising:

a server in communication with a computer of a user through a network, and wherein the server is configured to (a) convert one or more original files into one or more audio files, (b) associate the one or more original files with the one or more audio files, (c) indicate that the one or more original files are available as the audio files; and

(d) communicate the audio files to the computer in response to a selection from a user to access the audio files.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the audio files are communicated to an audio interface of the computer for playback to the user, wherein keystroke navigation is utilized to navigate the one or more audio files utilizing the selection.
