If you go to the how it works section. Start at the top. There is a flash
window, with jaws, I hit b for button and it was the first button
(unlableled). Hit enter and someone will speak in italian.

The subtitles show up in the middle of your iDevice.

Hi,

I can’t find the video to cync with the subtitles on the phone.

Any help appreciated.

Went to the How It Works section but see no link to watch the video or an
obvious button to click.

That lady had a test version of the app. That track isn't released yet, I
guess, but that track *is* available as an mp3 from

 

www.solo-dx.com

 

At least, I think that's the link, You can buy it there for a buck or so.

 

but the deal with MovieREading is that you are supposed to be able to get
the tracks for free, but you can only play those inside the app.  There's
advantages to MP3s and the app way of doing things.

Thanks for these instructions. :) I have not tried it yet but I have a
question. When and what movies will we be able to try to watch? I don’t
really understand this part. I thought the person who wrote the article on
Blind Bargains was able to try it with the movie Princess Bride.

Here's the link:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/moviereading/id460349347?mt=8

You do the compatibility test first by creating an account in Moviereading
or on the web site

www.moviereading.com

After you get to the www.moviereading.com web site, click on How it Works.

Then, wait. Go to the app and click n Market

Click on Compatibility tEst for MOvieReading and download the English
subtitle. There is no audio description track for this movie.

Then, once it's done, click on the movie in the My Movies tab. Then click on
the Play button on the computer, and click OK to let it sync on your
idevice. Then you can read the titles by scrolling with your fingers pretty
quickly back and forth with speech or you can use a Braille display, You
still have to do fancy fingerwork, but it's quieter with Braille.

I did an AppStore search for one-string as follows: MovieReading and it
popped right up for me.

I can't find out on the website using my PC how to do the compatibility
test. If anyone figures this out, please let me. I did successfully sign up.

Many theaters around the country are starting to offer the visually
impaired the option of listening to the descriptive audio track while
they're watching a film. Sadly though, this technology is not
available everywhere, and sometimes it doesn't work. The team at
Solo-DX wants to make the experience better by having the blind
film-goer use a smart phone app to listen to the descriptive audio
track instead. Last week, I had the opportunity to test out the new
MovieReading app. The interface is very simple. Once you're logged in,
you visit the Marketplace, download the descriptive audio track for
the film you're going to go see at your theater, and than start the
track when your film begins. The app will listen to the audio in the
theater and sync the audio track with where the film is so that the
user doesn't have to try and match the two tracks themselves. to test
the app, I downloaded the Princess Bride track and then watched some
Youtube clips from the film. In all three cases, the sync option
worked perfectly. The MovieReading app's latest version is expected to
be released before November 22nd, the opening day of the film
"Philomena" which will be the first movie to use the app's new
features. MovieReading is currently available on iOS, and they hope to
have an Android version soon. Pasted below is a press release from
Solo-DX about the MovieReading app and "Philomena".

As exclusive U.S. partners with Universal Multimedia Access, Hollywood
Access Services is releasing Solo-Dx on MovieReading, the first ever
auto-syncing audio description app available for first-run movies. The
debut title on this exciting new platform will be The Weinstein
Company¹s Philomena, in theaters November 22. Using acoustic
fingerprinting technology, this new auto-syncing method will
completely change moviegoing for the blind and visually impaired via
their smartphones. It's really easy to use -- download the app,
download the description track, go to the movie theater, and enjoy!
Even if you arrive late, you can simply hit "sync" and your audio
description will pick up in the right place. Right now, if a visually
impaired person wants to go the movies, they either have to have
someone next to them explain what is happening on the screen, try to
enjoy the movie just by listening to it, OR request audio description
headsets sometimes offered by theaters. These headsets pick up an
infrared signal from the projector that plays audio description
through headphones. However, they're not currently available for every
movie or at every theater, and even when they are available, they
oftentimes don't work correctly. These obstacles make going to the
movies too much of a hassle for many blind and low vision individuals.
Solo-Dx on the MovieReading app makes moviegoing simple and enjoyable!
Hollywood Access Services is thrilled to provide unprecedented access
to blind moviegoers across the country with Philomena, the first film
to be made available in the U.S. on this new auto-syncing audio
description platform. Starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan, and based
on the book "The Lost Child of Philomena Lee," Philomena is the true
story of one mother's search for her lost son. Philomena is directed
By Stephen Frears and written by Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope and opens
in New York and Los Angeles on November 22 before going nationwide on
November 27.
