Content Transcoding

The process of automatically modifying web content to make it more accessible or usable for specific users or devices. Content transcoding can involve restructuring HTML, modifying CSS styles, replacing images with text alternatives, simplifying page layouts, or converting content between formats. It can be performed on the server side, at a proxy layer between server and client, or on the client side through browser extensions or scripts. In accessibility contexts, transcoding enables personalized content delivery that adapts to individual users' needs and preferences, such as increasing contrast for users with low vision or reorganizing page structure for screen reader users.
