A picture is worth a thousand words, but we only have time for a few

Our Services

We offer services to broadcast networks, streaming platforms, production companies, content creators, and businesses.

Audio Description (AD) / Described Video (DV)

Audio Description or Described Video is an accessibility service that provides narration of visual elements in media, such as films, shows, performances, and online videos. It helps people who are blind or partially sighted understand visual content by describing key visual elements. AD is the term used in the US and most of the world, but it is referred to as DV in Canada.

Integrated Described Video (IDV)

Integrated Described Video (IDV) is a method of creating video content specifically for blind and partially sighted audiences, where key visual elements are incorporated throughout the entire production process—from pre-production to post-production. This approach eliminates the need for traditional Described Video (DV) or Audio Descriptions added after the program has been completed.
