Abstract
A computing system and related techniques for selecting content to be automatically converted to speech and provided as an audio signal are provided. A text-to-speech request associated with a first document can be received that includes data associated with a playback position of a selector associated with a text-to-speech interface overlaid on the first document. First content associated with the first document can be determined based at least in part on the playback position, the first content including content that is displayed in the user interface at the playback position. The first document can be analyzed to identify one or more structural features associated with the first content. Speech data can be generated based on the first content and the one or more structural features.
