Described Video For The Visually Impaired: Where To Locate

By Todd Bolinger


For the visually impaired it is often hard to use the video presentations that are offered both online and on the television. Though it is hard to get the full benefit of visual stimuli, it is not wholly impossible. With the use of what is typically described as a descriptive video, the visually impaired can benefit from all video genres. It is important that before you or an individual you know searches out a descriptive video that you understand what it is exactly.

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 recording know what is taking place at each juncture. In some situations these videos may have the original narration or voices dubbed over by the description in order to better describe what is going on. In most cases however, if the video had narration or voice talent to begin with, the video presentation is simply paused or suspended for a moment so that the narrator can describe the previous action.

Descriptive videos are surprisingly beneficial for a variety of reasons. The first is that even though the visually impaired listener can hear what is going on, there are often body language and additional visual cues that change 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 happening.

This kind of media can be discovered in several different locations, the first and most typical is on the web. Because the net is a conglomeration of a number of sources it is extremely simple to find this type of video both on sites for those that are not visually impaired and on specialized websites that cater to those with a visual impairment. Websites like YouTube, Vevo, and other video sites may have descriptive videos that are shot by both professionals and novices that can be exceptionally useful.

If you are looking for a specific sort of video with a specific material like law for example you may want to look for video presentation series that are made especially for the visually impaired. It is possible to request special videos or information from universities, law firms, in addition to other sources. There are also description services that can help you to see films, television shows, and a lot more, a website 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 ask for. Costs for this service differ depending on the content that is being dubbed.
