iPhone/iPad VoiceOver: Audio Description Basics

Hello, my name is Douglas Walker. Today, we will be turning on our audio description auto-play setting. Now, in the past, I really haven't found myself watching many movies. However, all of that has changed now that we're finding more and more movies in iTunes that are available with audio descriptions. And because of this, we will be taking a look at how to turn on our audio description auto-play. And that will ensure that any movies that have audio descriptions will automatically play for us.

Now, if you're not familiar with what it means for a movie to have audio descriptions, well, movies with audio descriptions describes what is happening on the screen for those of us with a visual impairment. You know, even though I have some remaining vision, I sometimes miss all of the little subtle things in a movie, especially if it's kind of a dark movie.

Ed: Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you, your name, email address, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you. And don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we're just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on. Plus, it connects you to the Hadley community and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free of charge. And last but not least, it gives you direct access to experts, like me. Now, where were we?
