View printable version

Audio description is an extra narrative that’s mixed in with the original soundtrack. In the gaps between the existing dialogue and sound effects, someone describes the important visual action taking place on screen.

Blind and partially sighted people benefit most clearly from audio description.

A good audio described soundtrack will describe characters, scene changes, and on screen text.

People with cognitive disabilities might also find this information helps them process visual content more easily.
