Hi Shilpi,

Thanks a ton for the update, This development must have passed me by.

John

It does work on the android app, but I couldn't make it work on the
website. I tried a couple of titles including Hanna.
Thanks

Kind regards

Mayank

Hi there,
@Viraj
 Whew, I had a year's amazon prime membership, and I kept on trying on and
off to see if AD had made it to India, but was not able to locate anything
but alternate language titles. good to know I am not the only one XD
 Others that say that amazon indeed has AD available, could you check Fast
and furious hobs, to see if that indeed has AD for you?
 Another title to look at would be Hannah.
 Hannah is an amazon original so ought to have AD, hobs and sure is one
movie that has AD according to ACB
  @MAYANK
Amazon prime does have AD available outside the US, for example UK and a
few EU countries.
 Perhaps it is device dependent? I.E you need to have firestick and the
like for it to show up?
 I have tried accessing it through browsers, and IOS.

2020-01-20 Thread Shilpi Kapoor
Hi All, 

I had reached out to an Amazon Prime person who is focusing on Accessibility 
with this thread. He has shared the below:


"Thank you for forwarding the feedback. Amazon Prime Video does have Audio 
Descriptions for a all English Amazon Originals. Would you be able to pass this 
on to the customers and see if they are able to see AD. Customers should be 
able to turn on Audio Descriptions by playing a title and changing the audio 
language to English [Audio Descriptions] and it should be available on all 
devices like mobile apps, or Prime Video website. If they are unable to play 
AD, I would be happy to take a look."

Hope this helps. 

Regards
Shilpi

2020-01-20 Thread MAYANK SHARMA
Hi.

I did reach out to Amazon, and they told me it was because of
copyright issues that the audio description feature is not available
in India. They did say they’ll forward the concern. I’m not sure if
it’s available in any other market outside US at the moment. It is
indeed difficult to understand why its not been brought to a big
market like India’s, it’ll only attract more membership.

Sunil,

I think all Netflix Indian originals have audio description that we
can access, starting with Sacred Games.

Kind regards

No app is needed. You can get the AD on the net flicks app itself. You can 
watch it and enjoy the AD on your mobile or on your Lap Top. I had experienced

Hindi web series in India.

Hi everyone, I don’t know how many of you are already aware about this, 
Yesterday I was watching a popular web series “jamtara” on the Netflix, after 
tweaking app here and there, I found out that it had Hindi audio descriptions 
available just like we do use in excel cinema app.
I also checked another web series “ghost stories” and found that Hindi audio 
description was available for that as well.
We should use, share and spread this as much as possible and let the makers of 
the content know that how important is there effort for us and there is plenty 
of audience  who use this feature and it should be included in all the future 
productions.

Hi Sunil and others,
 I have been aware about Audio description that netflix offers, and indeed
Netflix is the only OTT in India that bothers at all to provide us with
Audio description.
 The audio description however isn't limited to only those series you have
pointed out, but almost all if not all the netflix originals has Audio
description. If the content is origenally in English, there will be Audio
description in English, If the content is was origenally in Hindi, it will
have Hindi Audio description. I.E Sacred Games.
 I agree with your centiments and think that netflix ought to be encouraged
and applauded for its admirable efforts in the area where it stands out as
the only one to make its content inclusive for all.
 We should also see if we can't get amazon to follow along, I highly doubt
it though, Amazon Prime US has Audio descriptions because they must by law,
however Amazon India prime as far as I can see does not, which is a bit
baffling, I mean if you have the AD tracks already, What's the harm in
deploying them elsewhere too.
 If anything, that is likely to gain amazon prime more blind and visually
impaired users.
 But of course, Corporates don't often do the sensable things.
 But I digress.

 I hope we do reach out to netflix (all of us that use the service or
intend to) and tell them how great it is what they are doing and have done.
Laters,
