What is audio description technology?
Audio description provides narrated explanations of visual elements in films or videos, allowing visually impaired audiences to understand actions, scenes and character interactions.
This project focuses on improving media accessibility for visually impaired audiences by delivering synchronized audio descriptions for films.
The platform uses acoustic fingerprint technology to detect the exact moment of film playback and automatically synchronize audio descriptions delivered through a mobile application.
Logicnord developed the mobile applications and custom software systems powering the platform, enabling visually impaired users to watch films in cinemas or at home with real-time narration describing visual elements.
The project was funded by European Union innovation programs supporting accessibility technologies.
Films contain many visual elements that cannot be perceived by visually impaired audiences.
Audio description technology helps bridge this gap by providing narrated explanations of scenes, actions and characters.
The platform allows users to listen to synchronized audio descriptions through headphones while watching a film.
Using acoustic fingerprint recognition, the application automatically detects where the film currently is and plays the correct narration track.
This allows the system to work both in cinemas and when watching films at home.
The accessibility platform is delivered through a mobile application that allows users to easily access audio descriptions for supported films.
The application detects the film playback position and automatically synchronizes the correct audio description track.
Platform: iOS, Android
Logicnord developed the mobile applications and supporting software systems enabling real-time synchronization between the film and the audio description.
The platform uses acoustic fingerprint technology to analyze the audio signal of the film and detect its playback position.
Once the correct moment is identified, the application automatically plays the corresponding audio description.
This allows visually impaired users to receive narration without needing to manually synchronize the film.
Relevant services include:
The platform enables visually impaired audiences to experience films with synchronized audio descriptions.
By automatically detecting film playback, the system delivers accurate narration describing visual elements of the scene.
The project demonstrates how mobile technology can improve accessibility both in cinemas and home media environments.
