Summary/Abstract: Audio description is an additional audio narration track intended primarily for blind and visually impaired consumers of visual culture, including television, film, theatre, opera and fine arts. The narrator speaks in a presentation of an (audio)visual work, describing what is happening on the screen or stage during natural pauses in the audio. In the case of performing arts (theatre and opera), the media (television, video and DVD) as well as museums and visual art exhibitions audio description is a form of intersemiotic translation. Audio description translates the visual image into a verbal form that is accessible to thousands of individuals who otherwise lack full access to visual media.
