Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed to automatically provide an audio sub-channel for a reading service to a visually impaired user. An audio service system includes a control module and a transmit module. The control module is operable to identify an audio sub-channel for a reading service available for reception within a broadcast area of a television content provider. The control module is further operable to identify a set of commands for a television tuner instructing the television tuner to tune to the audio sub-channel. The transmit module is operable to transmit the set of commands to the television tuner so the visually impaired user can listen to the audio sub-channel for the reading service.
