Audio Description provides access to the visual elements – action, costumes, settings, gestures, facial expressions and other visually engaging images – of television/film, museum exhibitions, theater and a variety of events.
All people can appreciate the added detail and vivid highlights made possible through the effective use of Audio Description. For example, while Audio Description makes the images in children's books more accessible to kids who have low vision or are blind, the words a describer uses helps develop sophisticated language skills for all children.
A picture may be worth a thousand words. But Audio Description Associates' trained writers and voice talents use words with precision to conjure vivid and lasting images. The result: people who are vision impaired can more fully enjoy cultural events of every kind, and those experiences are enhanced for every participant.
