Ways to Find Described Video For The Visually Impaired

By Todd Bolinger


For the visually impaired it is frequently challenging to make use of the video presentations that are offered both online and on the television. Though it is challenging to get the full advantage of visual stimuli, it is not wholly impossible. With the use of what is frequently described as a descriptive video, the visually impaired can benefit from all video genres. It is very important that before you or somebody you know searches out a descriptive video that you comprehend what it is precisely.

A descriptive video is a video that is either narrated or described in real time as it is being shot or that is dubbed later with narration to let those that can not see the video recognize what is taking place at each juncture. In some situations these video recordings may have the original narration or voices dubbed over by the description in order to better describe what is going on. In most situations however, if the video presentation had narration or voice talent to begin with, the video is simply paused or suspended for a moment so that the narrator can describe the previous action.

Descriptive videos are unbelievably useful for a variety of reasons. The first is that even though the visually impaired listener can hear what is going on, there are frequently body language and additional visual cues that alter or add to the meaning of the words being spoken. By having a description of what is going on visually, the listener can then meld the two and get a clearer image of what is really taking place.

This type of media can be located in a few different locations, the first and most typical is on the web. Because the web is a collection of numerous sources it is unbelievably simple to find this kind of video both on sites for those that are not visually impaired and on specialty sites that cater to those with a visual impairment. Sites like YouTube, Vevo, and other video sites may have descriptive videos that are shot by both professionals and novices that can be incredibly useful.

If you are looking for a certain kind of video with a certain content like law for example you may want to search for video clip series that are made specifically for the visually impaired. It is possible to request special videos or information from universities, law firms, in addition to additional sources. There are also description services that can help you to see movies, television programs, and much more, a site like http://descriptivevideoproductions.com offers description services for the content that you submit to them. This means that you choose what is described and they provide dubbing for the videos, clips, and films that you request. Prices for this service differ depending on the material that is being dubbed.
