[Electronics-Talk] SAP on PBS Country Music

Wed Oct 2 05:06:12 UTC 2019

Ashley, the pbs app is the pbs video app, and watching on that app you'll 
hear the audio description, with having audio description turned on, on your 
apple device, your iphone or ipad. From what I understand you could hear the 
documentary through prime as well, and hopefully the audio description will 
come through on prime. I don't have prime, so possibly someone else can tell 
you whether one can hear the audio description with prime. There was a big 
thread about the audio description on this list as well as one of the iphone 
lists at the time of the airing of the country music documentary. There was 
a number of us that are in areas where our local pbs channels don't include 
or air the audio description on their channels, even if you have everything 
set correctly on your tv or device with the audio description on. The pbs 
channel in my area is one of those channels where you don't hear the audio 
description, so we were so happy  to find out we could hear the audio 
description with the app, again it's the pbs video app. The man that did the 
audio description did a great job, saying the name of people when they 
talked, and explaining some pictures that were being  shown. We listened and 
recorded it through our ipad. to Hearing this documentary is well worth 
watching, even if you're not totally into country music with all the history 
there.
