A new ebook from VITAC puts the focus on audio description and the process of creating high-quality descriptions for programs in a variety of media and entertainment sectors.
Our “Audio Description 101” ebook, available now for download, looks at, among other things, the ins and outs of audio description, how described content is used to help viewers, what information is described, and where to find audio described programming. It’s designed as an introduction for those new to audio description, but also contains key rules and regulations in the United States and Canada for more experienced providers to consider.
Audio description makes video content more accessible by inserting narrated descriptions of a program’s key visual elements during natural pauses in the program’s dialogue, ensuring that individuals who are blind or with low vision can better understand and appreciate a program.
Growing in popularity, it is available on many television and streaming media programs, in theaters and cinemas, and in museums, galleries, national parks, and travel tours.
