Audio Descriptions


Audio Descriptions

Audio descriptions are a separate audio track added to a video that provides a narrated description of important visual elements in the video. Adding audio descriptions to videos is essential to making that content accessible to those with visual impairments. In conjunction with captioning, audio descriptions make videos more accessible for all users.
