The audio description program is aimed at people with visual impairments. It is a verbal performance of images during a tour, talk, conference, and other artistic events. The audio describer, a specialist partner of HandsUp prepares his audio description and presents it during the above occasions. It is preceded by an introduction of about a quarter of an hour, in which the space is introduced and the necessary first information is given for the action that will follow. The audio describer, who specialized in audio translation for the blind, conveys in narrative form the image of what exists or takes place in the space. In the Audio description for visually impaired people, when it comes to describing people in addition to their kinesiology, the description of the faces, clothes, and even the facial expressions of the speakers are included. As a whole, the Audio description aims to convey the general picture of what takes place in each situation. The description takes place during the silences – breaks that are interspersed between speeches. Many times and if agreed upon, the experience is enriched with a “touch tour”, in cases of tours of archaeological sites.

If you wish to provide universally accessible services to your audience, HandsUp has the ability, with the support of experienced partners, to make any of your events accessible and inclusive!
