[Electronics-Talk] Audio descriptions

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hello,
Its good to know netflix is now putting out more audio description.
They have a show called fuller house. Is that audio described?
Anyone know if classic movies such as Christmas Carol, Jane Eyre, To Kill a 
Mockingbird or pollar express are audio described?

I don't see the whole thread here, so I can't tell what information has
already been provided.


In addition to the DVS section on the Netflix app, you can also go to a
source like http://www.acb.org/adp/netflixad.html to see all of the
shows on Netflix that have described video. Note that this is more then
just original content. Recently I've seen Guardians of the Galaxy Volume
II and Star Wars: Rogue One, and although I'm not always sure what is
and isn't original content on Netflix, I'm pretty sure neither of these
movies were put out by Netflix.


Similarly, to get a list of described video content on Amazon Prime you
can go to http://www.acb.org/adp/amazonad.html I know I've seen Jack
Ryan and Bosch recently, both of which were described.
