Abstract:
A transcoder proxy, comprising:a synchronous document object model (DOM) generator adapted to receive an electronic document in a first digital format, wherein the electronic document includes at least one element, and wherein the synchronous DOM generator comprises an identifier (ID) generator configured to assign a unique identifier to each element, and wherein the synchronous DOM generator is configured to: form a pre-transcoded DOM representing a logical structure of the electronic document, wherein elements are associated with corresponding identifiers within the pre-transcoded DOM; provide a portion of the electronic document in the first digital format; a transcoder coupled to receive the portion of the electronic document in the first digital format and configure to: translate the portion of the electronic document from the first digital format to an original script in a second digital format, wherein the original script includes a element and the identifier assigned to the element; and provide the original script; an assistive technology interface generator coupled to the synchronous DOM generator and adapted to receive as in technology event information and the identifier assigned to the element within the original script, wherein the assistive technology interface generator is configured to: use the assistive technology event information and indentifier to produce DOM assess commands; and provide the DOM access commands to the synchronous DOM generator.
