Any Blind People Watch Game of Thrones? (self.Blind)
submitted by coreyg89
I really wish my girlfriend who is blind could experience all game of thrones has to offer but it’s unfortunately so incredibly visual. Is there anyone out there who’s blind who watches it? How are you able to follow along with all the characters? Any resources for descriptive audio for the series yet?

Audiovault.net has the entire series with audio description, free!

thank you so much dude I never knew about this site, how come it has never been mentioned anywhere before? Or maybe I just live under a rock.

I found out about it from another Reddit, maybe as a community we can help it get more exposure, it's been great for rediscovering shows and movies, so I'm not limited to my books and podcasts.

I was able to watch a few seasons of Game of Thrones before I fully lost my vision, so thankfully I have some visual context for characters and environment of the show. Now, I watch the show with my partner and she describes it on the fly for me. She attended Joel Snyder's class on audio description at ACB back in 2016 and she's looking into freelance AD script writing gigs since she has so much experience describing for me. She's got Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, And a few other shows down when we are watching media without audio description.

I am unsure if the HBO Go app supports AD (or if the Amazon Prime app has AD for GoT) but I know for sure that the DVD and Blu-ray disks have AD on them. I’ve been meaning to borrow them from my co-worker, but he has confirmed for me that the ADs do exist on the disks.
Hope you guys are able to enjoy it!

Thank you for making us aware. I've been looking for a way to watch with AD along with my sighted gf. Right now, the only way I can access GOT AD is through mp3 only.

There’s a website I use, it’s called www.blindmicemart.com. They have a whole list of audio describe TV shows and movies, and Game of Thrones is one of them. And better yet, you can start an account and get all of them for free!

Hey thanks! I don’t see game of thrones on it
rebel_134 2 points 4y ago
That’s weird. Although, recently I have noticed that the search feature has been bizarre lately. Also, there is an alternative. For five bucks a month you can use a service called Sero, which essentially is Netflix for the blind. I know for a fact that they have a ton of TV shows on that, Game of Thrones included. Hopefully that works.

Omg Sero is great! Although it might get difficult trying to have her listen to the audio at the same time i hit play on the actual episode lol

Usually what I do, since I have an iPhone, is I turn off the speech while I watch the episode.

Aww buddy! Yes there is audio description out there--let me see if I can track it down? If so, I'll get back to you. blindmicemart.com used to have it as part of their movie vault, but they recently stopped storing TV shows because of spacial concerns. It's definitely out there, it's just a matter of finding it. Someone else here might be able to better direct you and me, even. But let me look through my external and see if I managed to save it.

That would be awesome, thank you!!
rebel_134 2 points 4y ago
Do you have a computer? Because I have a high Lee recommended website for you where you can find it audio described.

ok if you or your girlfriend have a credit card you can log into blindmicemart.com, there after creating an account you can find the blind mice movie vault which last I checked had all the Game of Thrones seasons described in mp3 format.
Additionally have either you or her read the original books? big fan of them, love reading in Braille myself.

yes, yes I watched it, in fact I am rewatching it as I write this.
orioltheoreo 1 points 4y ago
Game of thrones has audio descripted episodes somewhere.

i am thinking if you get her started on the audio books it might be a better way to share the story with her. then get into the show after. the down side is that we will probably never get the last couple of books in the series.
