The main reasons behind slide-show

Accessibility - this word is very familiar in the world of internet. Accessibility is/has always been targeted at physically handicapped or challenged. But accessibility for a print impaired can totally mean something else. I would like to quote a famous idiom in Hindi over here,

काला अक्षर् भैंस बराबर

The idiom means that for an illiterate a word on the blackboard is equivalent to buffalo. In India, especially, this count is very high. Web can now be accessed on the mobile phones, and the smart phones are now reaching the masses. If the market is closely followed, in an estimate of another 3-4 years every person would be having a smartphone, through which he can browse the web. But what may put him off is the inability to understand what he sees, reads or maybe even listens. The whole idea behind the slide-show was to have a mock up of how re-narrated content could look like on a phone. The actual extension comes very close to the idea, it tells if there is an audio narration available for a page and also plays it, when the user selects that recommendation.
