My wife has vision, but likes the audio description because she can 
multitask and still know what's going on with the story on the TV.

I wouldn't say my son likes video description, but he does like it when 
watching a movie with me. He's curious about what video description chooses 
to describe, and he's interested in seeing how I experience a movie.

Well, my mom is not a fan of audio description at all. It’s too distracting 
for her seeing as she can see. my dad doesn’t mind it, but I think he just 
does it for the benefit of me or you know what benefits me sometimes. But I 
do know subsided, people that enjoy it. One of my friends is an audio

I personally am fine with just the free MP3 with no video but all the 
sounds plus audio description.  My wife who is sighted, isn't a big fan of 
Sci-Fi.

Wow!

I am so surprised given that the audio track is included on Amazon Prime 
Video.


Given that the show was produced at the Amazon Studios, I guess I should 
not be too surprised, at that.


Like all of my other television series purchases from iTunes, I probably 
wouldn't let the lack of an audio track stop me from purchasing the show 
but if I can get the same episodes, at the same price, with audio 
description from Amazon Prime Video, then so be it.


Well, off to the Amazon Prime Video Store, I go.

Lana,
Mark was saying the videos do not include the Audio Description track, but he 
failed to use the word "description" in his statement.
Yes, they have the full audio and sound effects, minus the description track 
for the blind.
Apparently, if you want to buy the video, with full audio including audio 
description, you need to buy it through Prime.
I personally am fine with just the free MP3 with no video but all the sounds 
plus audio description.  My wife who is sighted, isn't a big fan of Sci-Fi.

Are you saying that the episodes come with video only? No dialogue or music, or 
sound effects? or anything? That doesn't make sense, even for a sighted viewer.

Well, my mom is not a fan of audio description at all. It’s too distracting for 
her seeing as she can see. my dad doesn’t mind it, but I think he just does it 
for the benefit of me or you know what benefits me sometimes. But I do know 
subsided, people that enjoy it. One of my friends is an audio describer 
technically being a reader that reads the audio description script that was 
written for him I think he even does the Picard series. His name is Roy 
Samuelson. He enjoys listening to audio description as well. He is fully sided.

Lana,
Mark was saying the videos do not include the Audio Description track, but he 
failed to use the word "description" in his statement.
Yes, they have the full audio and sound effects, minus the description track 
for the blind.
Apparently, if you want to buy the video, with full audio including audio 
description, you need to buy it through Prime.
I personally am fine with just the free MP3 with no video but all the sounds 
plus audio description.  My wife who is sighted, isn't a big fan of Sci-Fi.

I have not purchased any video Contant with audio description from Apple 
iTunes, and you did mention Paramount plus subscribers getting access to the 
audio description. Well I tried to get that audio description for a show which 
normally does have audio description, but couldn’t get it to go on because in 
the app, there’s no way for me to tell. if I’m actually in the player or if I’m 
in the settings because I don’t know what they did in the update, but I cannot 
find audio language, subtitles, etc. this is on an iPhone 8 plus running 
16.0.3. I have the latest software update for Paramount+ app as well. Anybody 
having issues getting the audio description to work on that app any workarounds 
would be great. Sorry that this doesn’t actually answer your question but trial 
and error seems to be the best bet I could try to buy season one and let you 
know if it works but you would think under the description that it would say 
that audio description is available. I know it does for a star is born 2018.

A Question for Star Trek, Picard Fans

2022-10-18 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Everyone,

The television series Star Trek, Picard has been produced with an audio
description track.

Now I know that those who subscribe to Paramount Plus, CBS All Access, etc.
have access to that audio track.

To my surprise, the iTunes Store sells both seasons of Star Trek, Picard,
also.  I am assuming that when the third and final season is released in
February, 2023, it will be available  for purchase in the iTunes store, as
well.

My question:  Has anyone purchased a season of Star Trek, Picard from the
iTunes Store? And if so, was the audio description track included?

Why am I asking when I can simply buy a season and discover the answer for
myself?

Since I plan on buying Star Trek, Picard, normally, I would simply buy the
first season and hope for the best.  However, in this instance, the series
is also being sold in the Amazon Prime Video store. And, unlike the product
description in iTunes, Amazon Prime Video clearly labels the series as
having an audio track included with purchase.

While I have purchased several items from the Amazon Prime Video Store,
given a choice, I prefer to purchase my video content from the iTunes Store,
if possible.

So, in short, I was just curious if anyone had purchased the show from
iTunes and if the audio description track had been included with the
purchase.

All replies appreciated,

Mark
