Here is an idea, it's just an idea and I don't know if the Movie
industry would ever permit it. Having worked out the details of
extracting only the audio form a DVD how about an audio movie service
for the blind that would provide only the sound tracks of movies?
My wife, who is blind, and I go to movies all the time. I seldom
provide any kind of description to her, she finds that annoying. So
what do you folk think would audio only movies be of use? Would people
want them?
They could be encoded as MP3 files so they would be carried onto
digital players. Could we have something like Bookshare for movies
soundtracks in which you would have to prove you were a patron of the
library service to use it? Could we put the soundtracks into DAISY
format?
Any comments out there?
