2021-01-06 Thread Wayne Merritt

If anyone finds her Twitter account name please pass that along. I'm
not remotely active on Facebook. I searched for her on Twitter and
came up with @mirka_pavlikova, but there was no tweets or hardly any
other information on the profile. For other Twitter users, there is
the Disney Plus main account @disneyPlus. Perhaps mentioning them
would go somewhere.

Be well,
Wayne Merritt

Here is a nice article about Disney Plus and audio description about the award 
they received last year.
Disney+ Honored by American Council of the Blind for Achievement in Audio 
Description | WebWire<https://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=261578>

"You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon 
airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep 
space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was

Also if there are some particular you have in mind that you want audio 
description from Disney. Let them know. The woman who is in charge of doing 
that is active on the Facebook audio description group. She’s a wonderful lady 
and very approachable.

Re: Disney Plus and descriptive audio

2021-01-05 Thread John JD Denning

I find this entire thread interesting. I’ve had Disney+ since day one. And one 
thing that impressed me and my wife was the faster amount of content with audio 
description. Like most of their back catalog actually I have to say I’ve only 
tried one that didn’t have audio description but old classics such as Bambi, 
and sleeping beauty and then movies from the 60s and 70s and 80s all with audio 
description and then Marvel and Star Wars content and I knew if I tried 
something it I didn’t have it try it again in a short time and sure enough

Oh wow, sorry no punctuation. I’ve just been doing lots of messages on 
WhatsApp. But you get the point I am incredibly impressed with Disney and what 
they’re doing and trying to do better all the time. The only other network 
that’s really doing that is Apple TV+. Yes Netflix and Amazon have audio 
description. A very quality. And not nearly the amount Percentagewise of their 
catalog. And Amazon is starting to do synthesized audio description and that is 
utter crap. So they’re going for the quantity just not the quality. I want both 
I want everything with audio description and a high-quality.

Disney has a lot of old and now new movies,

Remember the old ones in most cases wont have been digitised so they will have 
to be working through them to convert them to a digital format and then add in 
the likes of the AD and subtitles type features 

The newer movies / tv shows are being produced in digital formats so there is 
no real delay in getting them on to the Disney service with adaptive features 
like AD etc.

So give it time.

Along with Wayne's good info, they have added audio description to a lot of 
older films.  We watched White Christmas with Bing Crosby last week and I was 
pleasantly surprised to find it has audio description.
That movie came out in 1954, long before anyone thought of audio description.
They've done that too with lots of their old animated programs like the 
original Peter Pan from 1953 I think.

It is a great service.

However, the app has gotten better. When playing a show/movie, go to the audio

English audio description item and activate it.
Note, you will have to be playing a title which has description already for

You may find it easier to enable audio description with the movie or show

RE: Disney Plus and descriptive audio

2021-01-04 Thread Richard Turner

Along with Wayne's good info, they have added audio description to a lot of 
older films.  We watched White Christmas with Bing Crosby last week and I was 
pleasantly surprised to find it has audio description.
That movie came out in 1954, long before anyone thought of audio description.
They've done that too with lots of their old animated programs like the 
original Peter Pan from 1953 I think.

It is a great service.


Richard, in the U.S.

"You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon 
airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep 
space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was 
young."
"Why, what did she tell you?"
"I don't know, I didn't listen."

When Disney Plus first started over a year ago, I called Aira for help. 
However, the app has gotten better. When playing a show/movie, go to the audio 
and subtitles button on screen, when moving through the screen, find the 
English audio description item and activate it.
Note, you will have to be playing a title which has description already for 
this to show up. Refer to the Audio Description Project link which was posted 
in an earlier message for the full list of titles. However, all Disney Plus 
original programming, such as Soul and any other Disney Original show or movie, 
will have description.
You may find it easier to enable audio description with the movie or show 
paused. When I did this in November 2018, Aira made the change on their web 
browser and it was remembered and retained across any devices on my account. I 
would imagine this would still be the case today though your mileage may vary.

Good luck,
Wayne Merritt

RE: Disney Plus and descriptive audio

It is on the Samsung TV though.
You need to get into the settings for Disney plus on the TV.
We have a Samsung TV and later today I hope to have time to go through and get 
the steps so I can write them out.
Once it is on, it seems to automatically work on any program that has the 
descriptions.

HI Dan,

I have Disney Plus installed on 2 Amazon Fire TV Edition TVs and somehow the 
audio description got turned off on one of them. I tried forever myself to get 
it turned back on but could not do it.

I finally had to call AIRA and they helped me do it. The problem is that there 
are menus that move by very quickly and if you don't react as quickly; it just 
goes by. We finally got it done though. I would say that that part is not very

I have Disney Plus installed on 2 Amazon Fire TV Edition TVs and somehow the 
audio description got turned off on one of them. I tried forever myself to get

I finally had to call AIRA and they helped me do it. The problem is that there

goes by. We finally got it done though. I would say that that part is not very

Disney Plus and descriptive audio

2021-01-02 Thread Dan


  
  
My wife and I decided to subscribe to
Disney Plus.  We messed around with it for a while and finally
found some videos that had descriptive audio but we can't seem
to figure out how to activate it.  She found one that she got
the description turned on for but we can't find how to do this
on our Samsung TV.  She did it on the one using her laptop.

  
How is this done?  What are we doing
wrong?

  
Thanks.
