Princeton University is Looking for Beta Testers for Student Project on 
Automated Audio Descriptions

Princeton University is looking for a beta testers to do usability testing 
on an exciting new student-led project. A computer science undergraduate 
student is building a digital tool that seeks to provide automated audio 
descriptions to video content. This is an ambitious project and your 
participation in the user research and usability testing of the tool could 
be instrumental in making it a reality. If you’re interested in 
participating, follow the directions below to contact the University 
representative coordinating the beta testing.

*What is Expected of You*

The student will have some interview questions for you to determine your 
background with using audio descriptions. They will seek to find out what 
aspects of the current audio description experience you enjoy, and what you 
find frustrating. The student will also have samples of outputs and user 
interfaces for you to test whereby they will study the results of your 
interactions with the product. The goal is to make something useful and 
productive for folks who rely on audio description and you’ll be a valuable 
resource to making that a reality.

*Dates and Times*

As of know the dates and times are undetermined. When the Princeton team has 
identified interested participants, they will work with those folks to 
schedule dates and times.

*Location*

Onsite testing will be conducted on the Princeton University campus at 
either the Computer Science building or at Green Hall. Parking permits can 
be made available as necessary. Based on responses from this invitation, 
there may also be rounds of testing that can be conducted entirely online 
and remotely.

*Additional Information*

As this is a student initiative, there is no compensation for participating 
in this user study and beta testing.

*Next Steps*

If you are interested in participating you are asked to contact Damian Sian
