Audio Description
Creating images with words
Audio description, also known as descriptive audio or video description, is the additional explanation and annotation of the key visual elements that describe a video scene, enabling a partially sighted or blind person to get a complete understanding of the video.

Reaching the blind and partially sighted
Audio description aims at making content more accessible to people with sight loss by “transforming” images into words. Audio-narrated descriptions of a video’s key visual elements are inserted into natural pauses in the dialogue, thus permitting viewers with sight loss to follow the imagery and the plot.
Audio description gains ground among broadcasters and VOD platforms, while in the US and the UK it is a regulatory requirement.
We use words to bring content to life
We help clients make their content accessible. Our audio description writers provide descriptions of on-screen elements that are fundamental to following the plot, story, or lesson. Be it entertainment or educational content, we create audio descriptions that bring content to life without compromising the experience.
Conveying an image through words is at the heart of audio description and we pay attention to every stage of the process, ensuring the best possible result for every project.
