Professional audio description services

Bring your video content to life with our professional audio description services.

Audio description makes visual content accessible to blind and partially sighted audiences. It’s a commentary of what’s happening on screen in between the dialogue. Well-crafted audio descriptions can make your content inclusive, engaging and meaningful for everyone.

With our scriptwriting and multilingual voiceover expertise, we help you reach an even wider audience.

Why audio description matters

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is raising the bar for digital inclusion across the EU. From 2025, many businesses will need to make sure their content is accessible to everyone.

Adding audio description to your video content doesn’t just help people who are blind or have low vision. It also helps anyone who prefers listening, learns better through sound or finds written text challenging.
