Writing Audio Description

Recorded audio tours are a popular feature of art, history, and science museums for in-gallery exhibitions and for virtual exhibitions on web sites. Tours are also popular at historic and cultural sites, national parks, and sports venues. All of these have discovered that writing tours with the technique of audio description can make exhibitions accessible to people who are blind or have low vision.

Audio description is a way of using words to represent the visual world, of helping people form mental images of what they cannot see. Some venues have discovered the unexpected consequence that Audio Description can also provide a welcome perspective for people with sight.

The technology for delivering audio tours, whether described or not, is constantly evolving. This site offers a limited overview of the current technology possibilities. Most of this site is about the process of writing audio description for audio tours and for web sites.
