Watching movies is a popular form of entertainment for many people, but it can be a challenge for blind individuals. However, there are a number of assistive technologies that can help blind people enjoy movies, including audio description, which provides a narrated description of the visual elements of a movie, and closed captioning, which displays the dialogue and other audio information on the screen.
Audio description has been around for decades, but it has only recently become widely available. In the past, audio description was typically only available for a limited number of movies, and it was often difficult to find. However, thanks to the efforts of advocacy groups and the increasing availability of streaming services, audio description is now available for a wider range of movies than ever before.
