Audio Description
Audio Description Consulting
Audio description is one of the least understood accessibility requirements — and one of the most inconsistently applied. Most organizations know they need to address it. Far fewer have a clear picture of what actually requires description, how to prioritize a library that's already behind, or how to make defensible decisions when resources are limited. That's where most teams get stuck. I help them get unstuck.
Practical answers to the questions audio description actually raises
The standard says provide audio description for prerecorded video. It doesn't tell you how to work through a backlog of hundreds of videos, what to do with archived content, when exceptions are reasonable, or how to evaluate whether a vendor's output actually meets the requirement. Those are the decisions organizations are making right now — often without much support.
