What is Audio Description (AD)?

Audio description is an art form and an access tool. It is the “visual made verbal”. Through the skillful use of words we describe what we see to persons who cannot see. We describe motion and still imagery both in real time and recorded.

What others say

My name is Charlie, and I live in Cape Town. I’m almost completely blind, but I used to love going to the movies. Now, even though I can't see the screen, audio description has become my new way to enjoy films. The describeAT app makes it easy to access audio descriptions anywhere, especially for movies. With just a tap, I can experience content like never before, bringing more independence to visually impaired people like me.

I love going to the cinema with family and friends, but I often need them to describe scenes without dialogue, which can annoy others. ShazaCin and describeAT are game-changers. By activating the app on my phone, it syncs with the film's AD track, allowing me to follow the movie independently through my earphones. It’s like having my own personal describer!


Tracy Smith
When I watch television, I often ask my dad to explain scenes without dialogue. I can’t wait for ShazaCin's describeAT app. With earphones on, I’ll turn on my favorite series, and ShazaCin will sync and play the audio description track. It’ll be amazing to enjoy television just like sighted viewers!
