CinestesiaAudio description for film and TV
Every scene matters

Every film has more to tell.

A dedicated audio description track follows the film you are already watching — on TV, on a streaming service, or at the cinema.

Your phone recognizes where the film is by listening to its sound and plays the narration at the right moment. The film stays on your screen; visual details reach you through your headphones.
