Audio Descriptive Services

Background

Congress and President Obama recently approved the 21st Century Accessibility Act, which adds audible video descriptions to the requirements of Section 508 of the National Rehabilitation Act. By October of 2011 a significant amount of video content per week on major Broadcast, Cable, and Internet media must be presented in audible video description format.

Audible video description technology makes visual media accessible to those who are blind or suffer from low-vision. Since 1998, Federal Law has required captions be provided for audio content. However, the FCC did not mandate audible video descriptions until recently because of technical challenges that existed at the time.
