Descriptive Video and Audio Description Enhances Your Shows for Vision Impaired Americans
Descriptive video makes your TV programs and feature films accessible to over 30 million vision restricted Americans. This represents an enormous untapped audience that could be enjoying your programs. Audio described movies and TV for the visually impaired provide description of visual elements of a story that may not be reflected in the dialogue. This presents a new opportunity for blind and vision impaired people to be fully engaged in the viewing experience.
By accessing their secondary audio program (SAP) track, the viewer will hear a narrator’s voice over describing the visual details of the program. The audio description is heard in between the lines of dialogue, providing visual context such as on-screen actions, character expressions, wardrobe, and other important visual information.
