Abstract
An information delivery system including a client device and server interconnected by a network passes data files in accordance with a well known protocol. The server creates an audio version of a displayed page associated with a first data file. The audio version includes information from the first data file and other items, so that the information is presented in the form of conversation-like natural speech. The server merges the audio version and the data file to produce a second data file and delivers the second data file to the client device. Advantageously, the client device includes a speech synthesizer engine and a display so that the data file can be viewed using the first data file and/or heard by a user using the audio version, both included in the second data file.
