System and method for transposing web content

Abstract

Provided are a system and method for enhancing static web content. In one example, the method includes extracting text content describing an item and extracting still images of the item from a host website, automatically converting the extracted text content into audio by combining keywords from the extracted text content with auto-generated supplemental words related to the item to generate an audio script, automatically converting the extracted still images into moving images by arranging the still images extracted in a sequence and adding movement to the still images to generate a video, and simultaneously playing the automatically generated audio script and the automatically generated video in response to a selection of the item.
