Audio description voiceovers narrate all important visual elements of what is happening on screen. The narration includes descriptions of characters, locations, facial expressions, actions and graphics. This additional audio track also includes reading aloud any text on screen such as speaker names, titles and credits.
Audio description ensures everyone has equal access to a wide range of content from TV programs, movies, interviews, events, marketing content and more.
Our audio description service complies with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and local legislation requirements.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][dt_fancy_image image_id=”2605″ width=”600″ height=”400″ css=”.vc_custom_1558595818645{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1558409025663{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]

Standard Audio Description
Standard audio description involves narrating the visual elements of a video during the natural gaps of the audio track, such as between the dialogue. This editing method ensures the duration of your final video is the same as your original video. Occasionally, the volume of the original soundtrack may be briefly lowered so the audio descriptions can be clearly heard even when the existing gaps are not long enough.
Extended Audio Description
Extended audio description is required when your original video doesn’t have enough natural pauses in the audio track to include sufficient narration. Extended audio description involves editing the video to freeze or pause at required points and inserting the spoken descriptions. As a result, extended audio description means the length of your final video will be longer than your original video.[/ultimate_heading][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1558589389323{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.75) !important;*background-color: rgb(255,255,255) !important;}”][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Voice Options” heading_tag=”h3″ alignment=”left” main_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:20px;” sub_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:20px;” main_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;”]
Human Voice
Human voice audio description involves the use of human voice artists to read aloud the descriptive narration track. This is ideal for creative and artistic content, including films, premium TV programs, theatre and performance.
Synthetic Voice
Synthetic voice audio description involves the use of a synthetic computer-generated voice to read aloud the descriptive narration track. This option provides a comparable level of accessibility to the human voice option, but with a quicker turnaround time and at a more affordable price. Synthetic voices are available in a range of female and male accents to deliver an impressively natural experience.[/ultimate_heading][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” gap=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1558589344821{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.75) !important;*background-color: rgb(255,255,255) !important;}”][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Live Audio Description” heading_tag=”h3″ alignment=”left” main_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:20px;” sub_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:20px;” main_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;”]We also offer audio description services for live content such as live news, sport, live theatre and performance.
