Audio description is a service provided to blind and partially
sighted people who attend theatre, cinema, art exhibitions
etc.
The visual aspects of an event are described in a clear and
concise manner in order for the user to have a full access to
it.
There are audio description options on some satellite
television channels and in some cinemas.
In theatre, cinema and street theatre the description is usually
received by means of a headset worn by the user and
delivered by the describer via a radio or infra red system
For examples of description please go to the
