This paper proposes a new video digest and delivery system, "ChocoParaTV", for applications such as blogs that include video content, and CGM sites. The video digests are generated based on automatic extraction of emphasized speech portions. To deliver the digest information and the digest to audiences, we also propose a new video digest description: CH-RSS; it can generate digested contents dynamically to match the user's requested digest time. With the ChocoParaTV browser, the users first view the digest and then visit the original web site if they want to watch the original content. The effectiveness of the proposed system was confirmed by a field experiment; about 40% of the users accessed the original web sites through the ChocoParaTV browser digests. This indicates that our method is very effective in making video content attractive to the audience.
