The Audio Description Project

The Audio Description Project is an initiative that provides spoken explanations of visual elements in movies, TV shows, theater, and other media for people who are blind or have low vision. These descriptions occur during natural pauses in the audio, helping listeners understand actions, settings, and facial expressions. The goal is to make visual content more accessible and inclusive, allowing everyone to fully enjoy entertainment and information. Managed by the American Council of the Blind, the project promotes standards and resources to improve the availability of high-quality audio descriptions across various media platforms.
