ABSTRACT:
A method for displaying an internet web page with an area of focus to reduce viewer distraction. The selected area of focus is displayed with the normal text, graphic and background color attributes as created by the web page designer. The area of focus may be, for example, a single sentence or a paragraph and may include one or more frames from the web page. Shading is applied to other portions of the displayed web page which become a less pronounced area out of focus. The area of focus may be moved with a pointing device such as a mouse or a keyboard. The degree of shading may be set by the computer user. The computer displaying the web page may be programmed to read the text in the area of focus with synthesized speech and to move the area of focus as the text is read.
