Audio description is commentary for people who are blind or low vision. Audio Describers deliver verbal commentary providing information on actions and visual elements.
For live events, audio description is delivered live in dialogue pauses and scene changes via a wireless transmission system.
For videos and films, description is scripted and recorded, then edited into the soundtrack alongside dialogue, music and visual effects.
Audio Description also includes tactile tours of theatre sets and exhibitions where describers lead patrons in meeting performers and artists and discovering key set elements, props, costumes and tactile analogues to enhance the description experience.
