There are a number of things that producers can do to make their shows more accessible to their audience, including captioning the content for those in the deaf and hard-of-hearing community and providing audio description for people who are blind or with low vision.

Working with an experienced captioning and audio description provider can save time, simplify workflows, eliminate stresses, and, in many instances, reduce costs.
