ABSTRACT:
A method of rendering information is provided and includes rendering data to a user, identifying a first object and a second object in a query, and accessing the document to identify semantic tags associated with text in the document. The first object and second object are associated with a first semantic tag corresponding to a first portion of stored text and a second semantic tag corresponding to a second portion of stored text. At least one of the first portion and second portion of stored text is associated with the data that was rendered. A third portion of stored text that is associated with both the first portion and the second portion is identified and selectively audibly rendered. In one example, a data output is generated as a function of values relative to first and second portions of stored information based on a data operation associated with a command object.
