Movies for the Blind
You ever wonder how you can enjoy movies without sight? Actually, there is a service called audio description that allows blind people to keep up with what's going on in a film Audio description consists of an extra audio layer to a film, comprised of a narrator verbally stating what is currently happening in the scene. Audio description can be found on the special features of a lot of dvds and blue rays, as well as services that allow you to listen to and download movies on the computer. I haven't tried Apple's services for audio description, but I have tried and enjoyed the services of a web site, known as www.blindmicemart.com. I just signed up for a free account with the shopping site, and whenever you are logged in, you can access the movie valt of described movies. The shopping site also has a wide variety of products for the blind and visually impaired, so I would definitely look it up. I would love to hear about what different people's favorite movies are.
