Our Audio Description Services

Standard Audio Descriptions

Standard audio descriptions refer to the snippets of narration interspersed within the natural pauses of dialogues in the original content.

Our standard audio description service involves adding all the verbal descriptions of visual elements in a natural pause of the video, including the in-between sections of dialogues and during the beginning of a scene, keeping the video length the same as the original video. Our skilled voice-over artists first listen to the audio-visual content and develop audio descriptions that fit in between two dialogues of the video.

Live Audio Descriptions

Live Audio Descriptions

Live audio descriptions refer to describing the visual elements of a performance or event spoken live and in real-time to listeners with visual impairments.
