Abstract

A browsing system is described for transforming declarative web content into humorous-dialogue TV-program-like content that is presented through character agent animation and synthesized speech. We call this system Web2Talkshow which enables users to obtain web content in a manner similar to watching TV. Web content is transformed into humorous dialogues based on the keywords-set of the web page. By using Web2Talkshow, users will be able to watch and listen to desired web content in an easy, pleasant, and userfriendly way, like watching a comedy show.
