ABSTRACT:
An information presenting apparatus, based on display status on a screen, estimates text blocks that a user is likely to classify as poor-legibility blocks and is likely to wish to be read aloud. A simple device that allows selecting from the text blocks is provided. A poor-legibility-block extractor divides text to be displayed on the screen into blocks corresponding to individual text blocks, classifies blocks including characters of sizes less than or equal to a predetermined size as poor-legibility blocks, and assigns block numbers to the poor-legibility blocks. A document display unit displays areas of the respective poor-legibility blocks as distinguished from other areas, with block numbers assigned to the respective poor-legibility blocks. When the user presses a numeric key corresponding to a block number, text in the corresponding block is read aloud.
