Help viewers follow the story through descriptions of gestures, expressions, and scene changes. Narration fits around dialogue, preserving the moments that make your film memorable.
Give learners the information shown in diagrams, demonstrations, and slides. Clear descriptions explain visual teaching points so students can follow online lessons with greater independence.
Make training and company updates easier to follow. Describe important actions and screen content so employees can understand what your video communicates.
A product demonstration should make sense to everyone in your audience. Add descriptive narration that explains how something looks or works, along with important screen text and calls to action.
Some videos need more room for explanation. Extended description pauses playback to describe complex visuals, giving listeners time to understand information before playback continues.
We focus on visual details that help listeners understand your content. A change in setting, an unspoken reaction, or a key instruction can matter more than a lengthy description.
Good narration suits the video. We consider pace, tone, and pronunciation so the description feels comfortable to hear and leaves space for the original soundtrack.
Tell us when your video needs to go live. We’ll discuss the work involved and agree on a delivery schedule before production, including time for your feedback.
An audio description script needs to work when spoken. We review the wording against the visuals, then check how the narration fits, paying attention to dialogue, important sounds, and the listener’s overall understanding.
Your quote reflects your video and the work required. Discuss scripting, narration, languages, and delivery formats upfront so you can plan your budget and understand exactly what your project includes.

Audio description adds spoken details about important visuals, such as actions, settings, expressions, and screen text. It helps people who are blind or have low vision understand information they might otherwise miss. You may also hear it called described video.
Pricing depends on the length of your video, how much visual information needs describing, the language requested, and your specific delivery requirements. Standard and extended audio description can involve different amounts of work. Send us your video and deadline for a quote that explains the scope, expected files, and agreed production schedule before you commit.
Standard audio description places narration in existing gaps between dialogue. Extended audio description pauses the video when more time is needed to explain important visuals. The right choice depends on the available natural pauses and visual detail. We can discuss which approach fits your content and audience.
For multilingual audio description, tell us which language your audience needs, such as English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Arabic, or Mandarin Chinese. For regional preferences, specify American or British English, or Latin American or European Spanish. We’ll confirm language, narrator, and accent availability when preparing your quote.
Turnaround depends on video length, the amount of description needed, language availability, and feedback rounds. Share your preferred release date when you contact us. We’ll review the material and confirm a realistic schedule before work begins. If your deadline is close, ask which production options are available.
