The problem with being a volunteer, unpaid, indie audio describer is that your enthusiasm often outstrips the time you have, and you wind up doing dumb things.

Like starting another script.

So I'm not really that into sports, it's just not my cup of tea, but on Sunday, it was the World Cup Final, and I watched it with audio description! Friday, I discovered the FIFA Audio Description app, which I'm sure has been out for a while now. The descriptions were just so detailed and descriptive! I got to enjoy every move and goal, the only goal in that particular game lol, but it felt great being able to enjoy something with my sighted family!

Guys, the new season of #KingOfTheHill is out on Hulu, and it has #AudioDescription !!!! I've loved this show for decades, it's pretty easy to follow without AD, but having it now just makes the experience so much more special. And it's written and voiced by humans!!!! YAY!!! #Blind

Currently writing #AudioDescription for the 2000 series "Coupling" by Steven Moffat.

Episode 4 "Inferno" has a dinner-party scene where everyone is mad at everyone else, and nobody is talking, so for about 2 minute it's all the body language of people snubbing each other while saying nothing. Marvelous to describe!

It's been a while (years even) since I updated the old website. Here's a hugely expanded curated list of useful resources and links for #AudioDescription for #museums and #art. First updated page, more to come (probably slowly).

Not normally a fireworks fan, especially in-person, but I'm enjoying watching the show from NYC with #AudioDescription on NBC. It just started, so tune in now to give it a listen. Good music too, with an emphasis on tunes from 1976.

Save the date! The next Audio Description Institute will take place September 14-18, 2026.

Whether you're new to audio description or a seasoned professional, the Audio Description Institute is an opportunity to expand your knowledge, sharpen your skills, and connect with leaders and peers from across the field.

Registration opens later this month, so be sure to follow the Audio Description Project on social media for updates and additional announcements.

I'm a massive Tennis fan, and recently I watched a documentary on the life of Rafa Nadal, one of my favourite players in the game, who had to retire recently. His uncle coached him from the age of 4, till 2016, and he was one of the most injured players in the game.
This documentary was complimented by excellent audio description, which makes it possible for me as a blind person, to watch TV independently and get the most from a documentary or show. #AudioDescription

#Bllind people, check out the #FIFA “audio description” app. I missed that it exists until yesterday. It effectively gives you a radio broadcast of all the #WorldCup matches, with maybe a little more visual description than a regular radio broadcast. So it’s not exactly audio description, but super useful, especially in the US where the “radio” broad cast is just the audio from the TV. And pre/post-match they do actual audio description of what’s going on in-stadium. Only thing I don’t like about it is there’s no crowd noise in the background, so it’s way less exciting. And there’s no way to sync it with anything else, so you can’t get the usual energy of a broadcast. #Football #WorldCup #Blindness #AudioDescription

The #audioDescription on the #WWDC keynote implied that the new #AirPods EQ will only be three-band. Welcome nevertheless but if this is accurate, talk about doing the bare minimum. #WWDC26

Thrilled to learn that Insomniac posted the list of #accessibility features for Marvel’s Wolverine alongside the gameplay trailer that also has audio description! Now that’s how you announce a game! Lots of great features for #blind gamers, so here’s hoping the game will be accessible because I’ve been wanting a more mature Marvel game. The game itself even lists it will have audio description in several languages!

Every time I log into #LinkedIn — "The login attempt seems suspicious."

It's one of the major social media platforms for #AudioDescription (the other being — hurrrkk — Facebook).

I wish I didn't need a login for either to participate in the community. 🙄

@histoftech Web designer and programmer 1999-2013. Made redundant. Burned out on relearning the tech every 6 months. Dropped my CV randomly around town. Got hired as a Medical Receptionist. Still there. I still code, and I write #audioDescription in my lunch breaks. Maybe AD is where I'm headed next. If not, I'm still challenging myself and having fun. And we built a straw-bale house in there somewhere, but that's another story.

Guys last night I watched the first episode of #StarfleetAcademy and that shit was awesome. I'm not a trekkie, I only watched the 2009 and 2013 films which it seems like a lot of people absolutely hated for some reason, but this was really, really good. It's one of these shows where the #AudioDescription felt like a part of the story and not an afterthought, Marvel and Star Wars were always really good about this, and who ever voiced the description for Starfleet did an awesome job. @bscross32 @JessicatheVIArtist

Another month has been and gone! Here's a few interesting #AudioDescription things for your consideration, education and elucidation. Enjoy.

2 links below.

My sighted friends are listening to movies and TV shows on their jogs and stuff with audio description enabled. They're also wondering why more open audio described screenings don't exist more. I also never noticed how helpful audio description was to sighted NT friends on the spectrum, either!

Find titles with AD at https://adp.acb.org/where-to-find-ad

And this podcast has public domain audio described films and TV shows, and is still ongoing!.

Attended a community screening with open #AudioDescription and guess what? Sighted people loved it, but best of all, we didn't have to use apps for AD, we didn't have to fiddle with special equipment for us, everyone got the same experience. The movie also had captions for the #Deaf too and, gasp, my Deaf friends and I could actually enjoy something together for free! Revolutionary! This took place in a #Library and it was amazing

Here's my monthly round up of #AudioDescription resources, and other things interesting to audio describers. Some good stuff this month.

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."
