Thanks. I should have figured that out, but wasn't sure. ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Turner <richardr_tur...@comcast.net> Date: Wednesday, October 19, 2022 08:16 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: A Question for Star Trek, Picard Fans
Lana, Mark was saying the videos do not include the Audio Description track, but he failed to use the word "description" in his statement. Yes, they have the full audio and sound effects, minus the description track for the blind. Apparently, if you want to buy the video, with full audio including audio description, you need to buy it through Prime. I personally am fine with just the free MP3 with no video but all the sounds plus audio description. My wife who is sighted, isn't a big fan of Sci-Fi. Richard, USA.

Taylor <mk...@ucla.edu> Subject: Re: A Question for Star Trek, Picard Fans Are you saying that the episodes come with video only? No dialogue or music, or sound effects? or anything? That doesn't make sense, even for a sighted viewer. On 10/18/2022 11:03 PM, M.
