I'm a bit late to the party, but I just found out about Audio Description... (self.Blind)

submitted by questions4theblind

I know I know, I've only just found out about the Godsend that is audio description. My question is: are there any places (free or paid) i can download more of these? Currently I am using the iTunes store...

Thanks in advance!

Netflix has tons. Just select the audio track for it, the same way you'd select a different language.

Itunes has audio description on select content, look up how to enable it on your device. Amazon has a limited number of their prime shows described, I don't watch any of them so I haven't tried it. Netflix has loads of described content, you can either click the audio description category in the app or the audio description link on the website to easily find it.

Blind Mice Mart has quite a few of them, but they only provide the audio track.

Only providing an audio track does significant save on space, but doesn't help if you want the video. Great for train rides, though!

Some of them on Blind Mice Mart are also described in a different language or not described. It would mention it in the file description, and it's pretty rare.

As of now, $1 $1 and Apple describe their content. There is also, tell me TV, formerly Zagga TV.

The audio description project, in the USA, has more $1

And our grassroots organization actively tries to advocate for more.

$1

Depending where you live there is audio description on many broadcast TV programs:

E.g. for the USA there is info on the FCC website about $1. This includes links to schedules of programmes with AD and information about some cable / satellite providers.

For the UK the $1.
