Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method that provide information in a form most suitable for sight-impaired user in a data processing network. SOLUTION: A client device suitable for the connection to a network includes a client application that receives information from the network and presents the received information as audio information to the user. A server, in response to a client's request, provides a client's data processing unit with the information. This system is constituted so that it determines whether at least a fraction of the information that the server has provided is inappropriate for the presentation by the client, and stores the information so that the user gets access to it later, presents the information of visually improved version to the user, or provides a fraction of the information suitable for the presentation to the user by voice, thereby corresponding to the determination.
