Dear all,
I am happy to report that National Association for the Blind (NAB
Delhi) provided audio description during its Annual Day event held on
19 April 2025. We have devised ways in which it is easy to do and does
not require much resources. It has been appreciated by many and hence
I thought of sharing this with you. We now plan to provide Live AD
service in all our upcoming programs.
As you are aware, audio description of events on stage is not common
yet in India. In institutions of the blind, where the major audience
is visually impaired, it is highly desirable for making the programs
more inclusive. Without audio description, the visually impaired
audience does not get to know about the stage setup, actions, costumes
and facial expressions of people participating in dance, plays,
fashion show and other happenings on stage.
WE provided a QR code to the audience using which they were able to
start the Live AD on their mobile phones. Most of them used their ear
phones to listen to the audio description in parallel with the sounds
coming from the stage. In addition to the QR which was prominently
displayed, a link was also shared through WhatsApp among those who
were interested. A talking book library volunteer provided the audio
descriptions during this 3 hours show. Many visually impaired who
could not come to the show, listened to the Live AD at their home and
said that they did not miss going to the show, they actually enjoyed
it a lot.
I will encourage all to provide Live audio description of events in
addition to adding it in recorded movies, documentaries etc. It is a
big step in inclusion.
With regards,
