ABSTRACT

Audio descriptions are not always accessible. This may be because of sound issues, language content or both. This chapter explores the challenge of creating easy-to-listen and easy-to-understand audio descriptions for all, including people with learning difficulties and low reading skills, those with low literacy or who are illiterate, and also the elderly, immigrants, refugees and tourists. This chapter describes how audio descriptions can be combined with other accessibility services, such as Clean Audio and easy-to-understand language, resulting in easier-to-understand audio descriptions.
