and
15 million Americans

Our studio is open 7 days a week to accommodate the tightest production schedule. Our attention to detail is second to none and we are committed to providing you with the descriptive video services you need to reach your goals.
The State of the Industry
Over one and a half million Canadians report significant vision impairment, and current projections indicate that this number will skyrocket within the next decade. With a nod to the aging baby boomer population, the CRTC has mandated that a percentage of television programming must feature DV. In the past five years we’ve watched how the demand for DV has grown; today, networks routinely include DV in many of their broadcasts. Described Video Works is pleased to set the standard for excellence in described video.
