Hi, Could someone describe the status and level and quality of audio description for TV shows and movies in developed countries like the United Kingdom? I know that there is widespread audio description in UK and something with Netblink in this field itself also transpired a while ago. I would love to know someone's personal experience, views, thoughts and opinions about this in developed countries and the possibilities and feasibility of bringing this to India as well. Thanks.
