I really don't agree that descriptive video is like an audio book. Listening
to action and dialog going on is very different from reading a book and
using your own imagination to form the voices and images in your head. 
Just my humble opinion, they are two entirely separate experiences.

Got this tip from another list

from site
What is all this?
Well, this is a podcast of public-domain films where I've added something
called "audio description," which is additional narration telling people who
are vision-impaired important visual elements of a show as they happen,
helping the film tell its story. This means everyone can listen to it like
an audiobook.

To learn more about the history of description and where else it is used
(hint: quite a few places but not enough!), check out the wikipedia articles
on the Descriptive Video Service and audio description.

Have any questions or suggestions? Email
