May 14, 2014, Audio Eyes, an accessible media company, will make history,
and you can be part of it! The first ever, live, crowdsourced description
event will allow you to contribute, in real time, to the magical process
that will make a feature film accessible and enjoyable for people with
vision loss. Ask questions, make comments, influence the final script!

Never heard of description? Learn how TV programs are made accessible for
people who cannot see the screen. Did you know that video description is
available on your TV every day? If you tried to share a YouTube video with a
blind friend or relative, how would they know what was on the screen?

Educators and entertainment professionals may wonder about the cost and time
required to make a video accessible. Log on and hear answers from the blind
professionals who are making a difference in the media industry.

All blind consumers are encouraged to log on and help demonstrate how your
opinions can make description better.
