- dvtrn 6y agoAccessibility still matters, or should still matter even if you’re a radio station, but probably especially if you’re a news radio station.
- scarface74 6y agoHow many TV shows have audio descriptions of non verbal parts of what you see on screen?
- dvtrn 6y agoMore than zero. It's called closed captioning, isn't it? I've quite often seen closed-captioning that put brief written descriptions of non-verbal depictions in bracket, and it's not entirely common either https://www.automaticsync.com/captionsync/what-qualifies-as-high-quality-closed-captioning/ https://www.automaticsync.com/captionsync/what-qualifies-as-... (see section: "High Quality Captioning")
- scarface74 6y agoClose captioning is for people who can’t hear. I am not aware of many TV shows that offer audio commentary for the visually impaired. Here is an example of one that does. https://www.npr.org/2015/04/18/400590705/after-fan-pressure-netflix-makes-daredevil-accessible-to-the-blind https://www.npr.org/2015/04/18/400590705/after-fan-pressure-...
- dvtrn 6y agoSorry, I thought that since we were originally talking about transcriptions of radio news broadcasts and accessibility for the hard of hearing that closed-captioning would be appropriate and relevant. But your point is well met.
- vermontdevil 6y agoNPR is fantastic when it comes to accessibility by providing transcripts. I linked the page thinking the transcript will come later as they usually do. But turns out it was a wrong link. See elsewhere for the correct link.
