Liz Gutman at Descriptive Video Works is running a short survey for audio description users to expand their audience feedback strategy. She says: "[the survey] is just four questions, and any demographic information you share will be anonymous. At the end, you can include your email address if you'd like to get updates on our work, and be considered for participation in future AD-related surveys and panels."

CW: Discussion of porn
I've seen some audio-described porn before and if there's one thing I've never felt more confident about its that A, the porn isn't my type, and B, the people describing it sound like they don't want to be there , its easier at that point to use AI because AI can give the voice for it while humans can't. #AI, #Porn, #Blind, #AudioDescription, #AdultContent, #AdultEntertainment

There’s a great discussion/rant on this week’s Double Tap Exclusive podcast about Sky UK’s failure to provide audio Description on their On Demand programmes. We’ve been waiting for this for years but are still excluded despite paying our full monthly subscriptions.
Well said, Steven & Shaun.

Le 25 février sera remis le 8e Prix #Marius de l' #Audiodescription. Initié par la #CFPSAA et organisé par #ApiDV (Accompagner, Promouvoir et Insérer les Déficients Visuels), ce prix récompense la meilleure audiodescription. Cette technique méconnue du grand public et des professionnels de la #culture est essentielle à l' #accessibilité au #cinéma ou aux arts vivants.
Problème : cette cérémonie est retransmise sur FaceBook, une plateforme de Meta qui soutient les attaques violentes en cours contre la #diversité l' #équité et l' #inclusion.

🚨 New Video Alert! 🚨
I had an absolute blast filming my first-ever video with Pianote! 🎉 They threw a challenge my way—I had to learn a song on the spot and create my own arrangement. No spoilers, but let’s just say it was a ride! 🎹🔥
For all my blind and visually impaired friends, we made sure to include audio description of any text that appears on screen, so everyone can fully experience the video. Big thanks to the Pianote team for making this happen!
Check it out here: https://youtu.be/ZeM3fnF8mN8?si=nUbJWoMwvvHFsanr
More to come—this is just the beginning! Drop a comment, let me know what you think, and share it with your fellow music lovers! 🎶

Things I never thought I'd say: "Wow! This Happy Meal thing has audio description!!" Um, *WOW*! Yes, we're in our 40s, but we still get the toys in the Happy Meal when we get it for our doggo. @TheZooLady is like, "I can't make sense out of this thing! It's just two cubes." So I find the little QR code thingy and scan it. It takes me to the web page, with a "Let's play button, and my first thought is, "Well, I might be able to make some sense of this if I use magnification and squint real hard." Surprise: There's actually *gasp* accessibility settings! And one of them is audio description! Totally wild! And the buttons are even labelled! I am rather impressed by what I've seen.

(Everything I have, except Glamorous Night, and The Dancing Years, can be found on Youtube.)
Tomorrow is my birthday, so I've decided to treat myself to an Ivor Novello film. I must be very careful with these, as he only made a few. I'm not counting the silent ones, since I'm blind and obviously can't watch them. I've already seen, and loved, I Lived with You. I'm missing Symphony in Two Flats, But the Flesh is Weak (wrote but not in), and The Truth Game (wrote but not in). But I still have Once A Lady, The Lodger, Sleeping Car, and Autumn Crocus. Which one should I watch?As for his plays, they are ridiculously difficult to find with full dialogue. If you know of any, please let me know! I managed to locate Perchance to Dream, and King's Rhapsody, both amateur but wonderful. King's Rhapsody was actually performed by the Knowle Operatic Society in 1981. How they managed to capture that in sound I have no idea, since I can't imagine it was a professional recording. Maybe, they used Super8mm. I believe some of those cameras had sound. Anyway, I also watched the film version of Glamorous Night, whose only saving grace was Mary Ellis, and I'm waiting on the 1950 version of The Dancing Years, with none other than Olive Gilbert! Finding anything with her speaking in it is almost a miracle. If anyone knows where I can find a film called Ivor Novello, from 1956 or so, please let me know. Many of his people are in it, and I would absolutely love to see it, particularly for that reason! I also have a delightful version of Valley of Song, recorded in 1955! This is a special and poignant, as the play was left unfinished at Novello's death and was completed by his librettist, Christopher Hassall, the one man I think should have done it, since he, more than anyone, knew Novello's style and thought process in such matters. A museum actually uploaded it from an audiocassette, but this is not a radio performance. It appears to be the film, which made me laugh, since now, the sighted get to experience how I see films without audio description! But it's really not fair to laugh when the ones suffering are my peers who fight like hell to get anything from/by Novello! It would be amazing, though, to have what does exist audio-described. I think, though, that I will listen to Valley of Song tonight. I am very curious about it. I'll save tomorrow for the film.

If you're #blind, American, and feeling patriotic, this year's Macy's 4th of July Spectacular will have live #AudioDescription from Descriptive Video Works. Available via secondary audio on NBC and Peacock. The show starts at 8 PM Eastern. Not usually a fireworks fan but might have to check this out. Anyone know if A Capital 4th on PBS will be described too? #Accessibility #AccessibleMedia

@Robert Kingett, blind I don't trust anything generated. At least not with super-obscure niche content like what I post.
And audio descriptions in general are why I'll never publish videos in the Fediverse.
I'd have to go into similar detail as for my pictures, only for moving pictures plus sound plus voice-over now. My descriptions would have to be so detailed that the video would have to pause to let the audio description catch up with the visuals. In fact, the video would spend more time paused while the audio description is rambling than actually moving, and it would never spend more than a few seconds moving at a time.
For one, I would have to describe and explain what the video shows at the very same level of detailed as I describe my images. And at least once I've described one single image at such a level of detail that it'd probably take a screen reader one full hour to read the image description aloud.
Besides, I would have take into account that it's a video. Everything would need timestamps. And instead of only describing the camera position and the camera angle, I would have to describe the camera movements like so:
Seven minutes, eighteen point one three seconds. The camera quickly rotates to the left around a vertical axis through a point roughly two point four metres straight ahead of the avatar. It starts rotating from the direction in which the avatar is facing, roughly twelve degrees to the east of north. The barn which has first appeared at five minutes, fifty-two point two eight seconds comes into view again, including all decoration around it. The camera only rotates around this vertical axis and not around any horizontal axis. The avatar does not rotate with the camera.
Seven minutes, eighteen point six four seconds: The video pauses to let this description catch up.
Seven minutes, eighteen point seven one seconds: The video no longer pauses. The camera reaches a rotation angle of roughly twenty degrees to the south of west. The rotation speed of the camera slows down. It continues to rotate to the left.
Seven minutes, eighteen point nine three seconds: The video pauses to let this description catch up.
Seven minutes, nineteen point zero four seconds: The video no longer pauses. The camera stops rotating at an angle of roughly twenty-five degrees to the west of south.
That is, in order to cater to deaf-blind users, I would have to have two time codes. One, the time code of the original video, not taking the pauses into account. Two, the time code of the described video with catch-up pauses.
And the video with catch-up pauses would be dramatically longer than the original video. Ten minutes of video would take me weeks to describe, probably over a month. And it would end up many hours long, depending on how much there is to describe and explain.
So a time code in the Braille description for deaf-blind users might actually read, "Six minutes, thirty-seven point five five seconds in the original video, fourteen hours, three minutes, forty-nine point two one seconds in this described version of the video."
By the way, no, an AI can't do that.

Heute bieten die Theater #Chemnitz im Opernhaus eine Auffürung von "My fair lady" mit #Audiodescription an. Gerade ist Pause. Vor der Aufführung konnten wir #Blinden die Bühnenbilder und einige Kostüme erkunden. Es ist wirklich gut gemacht und auch musikalisch ist es toll.

So I have always heard of Battlestar Galactica. I never have really sat down to listen to it though.

@fastfinge @Xantastic "Image description" if it's an image, "audio transcript" or maybe "audio description" if it's audio, "video transcript" or maybe "video description" if it's a video, "media description" as a more general term.
Mastodon only refers to it as "alt-text" because that's where Mastodon users always put it. After all, alt-text gives them 1,500 characters per image, but the toot only gives them 500 characters minus content warnings minus hashtags minus mentions etc.
I use more appropriate terms and more appropriate places to put my descriptions because I don't have to worry about character limits here on Hubzilla.

@fastfinge @modulux The question that nobody can agree on an answer to is: How detailed is the minimum requirement for media descriptions? How detailed is optimal? How detailed is too much, and is there such a thing as "too much"?
I'm someone whose "optimal" for image descriptions is probably beyond "too much" for many readers and definitely "too much" for almost all writers, and it keeps getting worse. I can post a 37,000-character description for one image that took me over 13 hours to research and write and find it lacking in multiple ways afterwards. In fact, I've done so.
Now I'm wondering what'd be an optimal audio description for music. Since I'm also a hobbyist musician, I might try to approach describing music in a way that goes into similar detail as sheet music, only that it includes sounds as well. Something that involves describing each audio part separately, although I'm not sure whether I should use the time within the whole audio file, the time only for the song, the bar-based timecode for the song or two or all three of them.
So I guess reading my audio description for one song is likely to take longer than listening to the whole album, if not multiple albums. But it'd be detailed and hopefully informative. That is, if I find a way to describe individual sounds including what effects do to them that's satisfying both for people who have turned deaf and people who were born deaf, both being complete laypeople when it comes to music.
But whether that's the right way, still not sufficient or way overkill, I don't know.

CW: Thinking about making videos, dropping it because of accessibility requirements; CW: long (2,940 characters)
A couple of times in the past, I've considered making virtual-world videos once I have a sufficiently powerful graphics card and a screen with a solution that won't make me the laughing stock of the Fediverse. I think I have the graphics card now.
I was going to publish them on PeerTube which is part of the Fediverse in case you don't know yet.
I no longer am.
Fulfilling the accessibility requirements in the Fediverse in a sufficiently informative way would not only be an out-right titanic effort. It would make my videos borderline unwatchable.
I'm someone who posts a picture of a shelf with a few dozen boxes on it and describes it with over 40,000 words. I have to because people wouldn't even get what's in the picture in the first place if I didn't. Imagine what I'd do in a video that shows much more than that. Much much more.
Very early in the video, it'd freeze so I could explain where it would have been made which would take a few minutes. Once everything in-world is visible for the first time, the video would freeze for half an hour or more while I describe and explain absolutely everything within the video frame. Whenever I move or turn, or the camera moves or turns, and something new comes into view, the video would freeze again for several minutes of description and explanation. And so forth.
In fact, the video freezes would end up quite long because I would have to speak slowly, clearly and in Simple English. That wouldn't make my descriptions any shorter, though.
A five-minute clip would be inflated to six hours or more.
The effort to get there would be gargantuan. Even short videos would take me weeks to write the audio description. Then they'd take me some more weeks to re-phrase everything in Simple English. The recording would take several days itself. Of course, I would have to transcribe what I have said in the original video to make subtitles. Then I would have to weave the transcriptions into the audio description script to create special subtitles for deaf-blind users. You never know what they might be interested in, no matter how niche your videos are.
And then it'd all be in vain. Nobody would watch the videos, either because they'd be way too long or because nobody is interested in the topic or both. Thus, there wouldn't be any comments on them.
So I wouldn't know if I had done everything right by being 100% compliant with WCAG 2.2 and the Fediverse accessibility requirements. Maybe I've missed something and not been thorough enough, but I wouldn't know. Or maybe I've completely overdone it and rendered the video unwatchable by being utterly overcompliant with accessibility requirements, and a tiny fraction of what I've done would have been sufficient. But since nobody would ever comment, I wouldn't know.

This is really a #teachable moment for anyone in #gameDev I think, see boost. #audiodescription is an #accessibility feature that is mostly used by the #blind, as it describes audibly what's happening visually. The inclusion of this feature, therefore, sends a message that this demographic was at least considered when creating the #game in question. Creating audiodescription costs valuable time and resources, which makes sense if the game is meant to be #accessible. If it's not, though, where does that leave us? Was the intention to allow the blind to watch another person play the game more effectively? Is it merely a consequence of other games adding it as well, taken out of context and into a vacuum? Perhaps simply a token effort? I guess we'll never know. But I think this review clearly demonstrates that when audiodescription is included, the target demographic expects to actually be able to PLAY, not just WATCH, a game. this is not a movie, after all.
