ABSTRACT
Tag thunder is an audio version of a visual tag cloud content representation. Tag thunders aim to bring quick reading strategies, such as skimming, to blind people. Tag thunders vocalize the key terms of a page using concurrent speech paradigm coupled with additional audio effects, similar to visual effects in a tag cloud. In this paper we present our implementation of the tag thunder concept. Our system comprises three modules: page segmentation, key term extraction and tag thunder vocalization. The evaluation results show the viability of the tag thunder concept.
