THE FUTURE OF AUDIO DESCRIPTION
Make the world more accessible one video at a time
MISSION
Accessibility for All
Audible Sight is a computer vision application for content creators that rapidly adds audio description to any video, ensuring Section 508, WCAG and ADA compliance.
Our vision is to open a universe of video content that is currently inaccessible for visually impaired persons, by making audio description as ubiquitous as closed captioning is for the hearing impaired.
Designed for non-technical users
Traditional methods for producing audio description require an experienced audio description writer, a voice actor, and a video editor. Audible Sight leverages recent advances in AI to democratize the process. It’s designed for content creators and administrators who curate videos. No technical skills are required.
Section 508, WCAG, ADA compliance
Audible Sight inserts the selected descriptions into the video using lifelike synthetic text-to-speech, and automatically inserts small still-frame pauses between scenes to make space for the descriptions. This is called “Extended Audio Description,” which is an industry standard.

WHY AUDIBLE SIGHT
A different approach, using a new method.
In a world dominated by platforms like YouTube, EdX, and TikTok, in which videos have become the preferred mode of self-directed learning and a key source of information, education, government content, and social interaction, our groundbreaking technology ensures that 340 million blind and low-vision people will not be left behind. Our innovation empowers this underserved group to fully participate, unlocking their full potential across education, employment, exploration, entertainment, and self-reliance.
