Title
Audio Description Of Videos For People With Visual Disabilities
Abstract
Audio description can be defined as an activity of linguistic mediation that transforms visual to verbal, allowing for a better comprehension of scenes when there is no dialog between personages. In this paper, we present the conception, development, and an initial usability evaluation of a software suite for audio description. The proposal pursues to facilitate and widen a comprehension of videos for people with visual disabilities by using synthesized voice. We developed a video player- ADVPlayer - that synchronizes the original video with a second audio containing a TTS version of an audio description script. We evaluated the usability of ADVPlayer with students with visual impairment in two South American countries. This evaluation revealed a high comprehension and acceptance in terms of satisfaction and confidence.
