To access the audio description list on your computer, you do need to be signed into Netflix. I believe there are up to 58 titles in that list now.

It should help with walking through the process of looking at the list of audio described movies, searching for one, and turning on the audio description. qqq Recently Netflix, the online streaming and mail order movie service, started offering described movies and TV shows. For those unaware of described videos or audio description, this is an audio track that is played within a movie where a narrator describes what is happening on the screen. Both total blinded and fully sighted individuals have benefited from this type of programming, especially with so many graphics and items in movies. To focus on Netflix, here is a link to the current list of movies and TV shows you can watch online with a subscription with audio description: http://www.netflix.com/browse/audio-description To focus on how to start listening to the audio description track on an iPhone/iPad, here is a basic list of steps: • Open the Netflix app on your iPhone or iPad • Find one of the movies or TV shows listed in this link, http://www.netflix.com/browse/audio-description • To quickly search, find the unlabeled button on the top left corner of the screen, Voice Over will just say “Button,” and double tap on that • Find the search Button on the top right corner and double tap on that (Voice Over) • In the search text box, type in the name of the program you found on the Netflix Audio Description webpage and play the movie • During movie playback, double tap on the screen (Voice Over) to bring up the playback controls • In the Top middle right offset of the screen, about 1/4th of the way from the right corner to the middle, double tap (Voice Over) on the button for Language Settings • From the list, select English, Audio Description, and then done. This should start the audio Description track to begin playing on your Netflix movie. Additionally, I have noticed that after doing this a couple of times, Netflix, by default, started playing the English, Audio Description, track by default. Here is the Netflix link for their current offering of Audio Described movies: http://www.netflix.com/browse/audio-description Enjoy, Tim www.BlindNotAlone.com > On Apr 29, 2015, at 09:20, Greg Wocher via iDevices > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello all, > When using the netflix app on my 6+, how can I search for shows?
