Re: an idea i had in regards to audio description
Re: an idea i had in regards to audio description wade machine handles all the syncing for you. You just load up the .mp3, and have the .srt in the same folder. the .srt has time codes that help control when the subtitles play, and wade machine reads those. Its like a subtitle thing on any other movie player, the only difference is that it pipes the subtitles through the screen reader instead of putting them on the screen. but its totally automatic. just start the movie and enjoy. I can upload a test movie with a set of accompanying subtitles if youd like.

So with this system all someoned have to do is make an srt file with audio description data rather than foreign language translations, and that is easily done (assuming you can see to describe a movie of course).

Re: an idea i had in regards to audio description Yeah, but writing descriptions is a lot more work than you might think... but its a concept worth thinking about.

Re: an idea i had in regards to audio description
Re: an idea i had in regards to audio description Something like opensubtitles.org but with described content is what we need if this is going to work.

Re: an idea i had in regards to audio description
Re: an idea i had in regards to audio description There are actually descriptions already, written for several things, for example I am currently watching the avatar the last air bender series and reading the scripts from http://www.avatarspiritmedia.net/index.php if you edited those you could create some pretty good descriptions, and there are film scripts around elsewhere online. There are however two problems I see with this. Firstly, when audio descriptions are written and narrated by people like ncls agency here in Britain, the descriptions are carefully timed to fit in between the dialogue. This however would be far more difficult with a synth sinse itd be very dependent upon what you had your screen readers speed set to. Remember, sub titles appear as people speak. Secondly, I personally dislike just! hearing the audio with description sinse Id always prefer to have the graphics and see what I can get from them . If I can get graphics plus description that is very awsome, so this probably wouldnt help me personally if you couldnt run it with a dvd or other video file. I actually wish that when people like blind corners produced those descriptions they could give you a little time at the start and then tell you when to start the dvd sinse itd be relatively easy to start the two together and then turn the dvd playback sound down so get the pictures and descriptions at the same time.

an idea i had in regards to audio description
an idea i had in regards to audio description Hi,I had an idea that Iw was wondering what yall think.So we have audio description for a limitted number of movies, and the reason is that they are so expensive to produce. We have a program developped by our very own aprone, called wade machine. Its job is to read subtitles while a movie is playing, and I find it works quite well.Would you all watch films, if a .srt (subtitle) file was made with descriptions? You would use wade machine to play the descriptions and the movie at the same time. the only difference is that they would be read by the screen reader. any thoughts?

Re: an idea i had in regards to audio description
Re: an idea i had in regards to audio description Id certainly give it a go. Does wade machine control playback of the movie as well or do you have to try and play them both at the same time so they sync correctly?
