Audiodeskripció

Audiodeskripció, also known as audio description or descriptive video, is a service that makes visual content accessible to people who are blind or have low vision. It involves a narrator providing a description of the visual elements of a film, television program, theater performance, or other visual media during natural pauses in the dialogue. This description includes details about actions, settings, costumes, and character expressions that are not conveyed through the spoken words alone.

The goal of audiodeskripció is to provide a richer and more complete understanding of the visual experience for those who cannot see it directly. It is developed by skilled describers who carefully script and record the narration, ensuring it is concise, relevant, and integrates seamlessly with the existing audio track. The service is often accessed through a separate audio channel on televisions, in movie theaters, or via dedicated apps. Audiodeskripció plays a crucial role in promoting inclusivity and ensuring that a wider audience can enjoy and engage with visual media. Its implementation is a key aspect of accessibility standards in broadcast and digital content.
