What We Do.

Described video (or audio description) makes media accessible to more people – that is why so many organizations trust our expertise. We have produced described video over the last 10 years in English, French and Spanish. Our descriptive voices have been heard on many of the major networks, specialty channels and streaming platforms across North America.
