Abstract
A content customization service is disclosed. A user computing device and/or a content customization server may customize a narration associated with an item of content at the request of a listener or a rights-holder. One or more user interfaces may be provided to facilitate these requests. Some examples of customization include specifying settings for the language, accent, mood, or speaker of the narration. Other examples of customization include specifying settings for the bass, treble, pitch, pace, or contrast of the narration. The content customization service may select a computing device to perform the customization. For example, the user computing device may modify the narration by itself, or the user computing device may transmit a request for modified narration to the content customization server, which may then transmit modified narration to the user computing device.
