Descriptive Video Service (DVS)

Over 1.5 million people here in Canada are blind or vision impaired, and I'm providing some examples of described videos from John Hauber Productions. (Toronto, Canada)

Descriptive Video Service (DVS) allows blind TV viewers to provide narration on what's happening on screen.

It can be accessed from a Television set via SAP (Second Audio Programming), or on a DVD that has a DVS audio track included in it.

Here are some examples:

Discuss this accessible format used in TV Programs and Feature Films.

Re: Descriptive Video Service (DVS)

Hate to say, but even if I were blind, this would annoy me. The narrators sound annoying.
