Audio description as an accessibility solution
Visual content is everywhere – in films, videos, exhibitions, presentations and digital media. For blind and visually impaired people, however, this content is often not fully accessible. This is where audio description comes in.
As a professional language service provider, SprachUnion offers high-quality audio description services. Our precise and perfectly timed audio descriptions make visual content accessible and support equal access to information, culture and media.

Frequently asked questions about audio description
Audio description is a spoken narration that describes visual elements such as actions, gestures, facial expressions and on-screen text. It makes films, videos and events accessible for blind and visually impaired audiences.
Audio descriptions are primarily intended for blind and visually impaired people. They can also benefit elderly audiences and people with cognitive impairments.
Audio descriptions are spoken during suitable pauses or designated time slots in the content without overlapping the original dialogue. They complement the existing audio with descriptions of relevant visual information.
Audio description is suitable for feature films, TV series, documentaries, short films, theatre performances, explainer videos and a wide range of cultural and audiovisual content.
The cost of audio description depends on factors such as the length of the material, content complexity and production effort. After reviewing your project, we’ll provide a transparent and non-binding quote.
