Re: Inn the United States: Video Description on the "Watch ABC" iOS App
No, it doesn't appear to. The guy who originally posted it said that any ABC show that does have it on TV appears to on the app though, and I think the audio description project site from AFB might list most of the shows that ABC is doing that will have it. - Original Message - From: "Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D." To: Sent: Sunday, May 10, 2015 6:41 PM Subject: RE: Inn the United States: Video Description on the "Watch ABC" iOS App Does it say within the app which shows have audio description? -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Brent Harding Sent: Sunday, May 10, 2015 6:17 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Inn the United States: Video Description on the "Watch ABC" iOS App I tested it after getting the message elsewhere as well. The description does work on ABC's shows that have it. If you have a provider that isn't TWC and is on their list, the more providers option does let you see a list accessibly.

Hello all, I was playing around with the various network apps on my iPhone, when I came across something really cool on the Watch ABC App. It’s important to preface this by saying that in the Settings, General, Accessibility section of my iPhone, under the media heading, I have the “prefer video descriptions when available” option enabled. This will theoretically automatically play video descriptions when enabled. In practice, this has done nothing in the past, but when I started to watch an episode of The Middle on the Watch ABC app, it started playing with description! I checked the other shows that offer description, and found that they all play with description now. These include: The Middle, Nashville, Modern Family, Fresh off the Boat, Shark Tank, Blackish and The Goldbergs. There are a few episodes available that don’t have description, but most of them do. Anyway, this is huge, folks! I have played with all the other network apps, NBC, Fox and CBS, and as far as I can tell, ABC is the first to offer description in their app. I’m so excited that video description is spreading! A few small caveats: The app wants you to verify your cable provider to watch the latest episode of a show, and aside from the fact that my provider, Time Warner Cable, is not in the list, the list is inaccessible. There is a list of smaller providers that I can reach, but it’s not the main list. There are some control accessibility issues, but I’m sure if we point them out, they can update the app to fix those issues. Again, we should definitely thank ABC for making video description available on their app. They should be nominated for an ADP award for being the first of the networks to do it. This is so exciting!
