Our audio description services help bring stories to life for people who can’t rely solely on visuals. By adding a spoken track that describes what’s happening on screen – from facial expressions to scene changes – this service makes films and documentaries far more accessible and inclusive.
What Is Audio Description?
Audio description is an additional narration track that describes the visual elements of a film or programme. It fits into the natural pauses in dialogue and explains key visual details, like settings, actions, costumes, and gestures.
Platforms like Netflix or BBC have embraced audio description to make their content available to visually impaired audiences around the world. It’s not just about accessibility – it’s about equality and better storytelling for everyone.
Why Does Audio Description Matter – And Who Does It Help?
Audio description helps make media truly inclusive. It’s not just for people who are blind – it also benefits those with certain learning needs, processing differences, or people watching in environments where visuals are limited.
It’s a simple way to turn your film or documentary into accessible content – and let’s face it, the more people who can enjoy your work, the better. Whether you’re a director, a producer, or an indie filmmaker, it’s worth thinking about how your story reaches different kinds of audiences.
Adding audio description shows you care about every viewer, not just the ones who see the screen clearly.
