Spectrum Access, a Free App to Provide Audio Description and Closed Ca
Spectrum, AKA Charter Communications, yesterday released a new app called Spectrum Access: Enabled Media. It is completely free for anyone in the United States to use, you do not have to be a Spectrum customer, and can provide audio description or closed captioning in circumstances where those things might otherwise not be available.
how it works, in brief, is you find a movie on the app, download the description or closed captioning track, then, while that movie is playing from a TV, laptop, or any other device with speakers, you tap play and sync for the track. The app then listens to the external audio and starts playing the description or captioning from your phone synchronized with the already playing show. You don't have to be at the beginning of the movie, the app will start the description at whatever point in the show you are at when it starts listening.
This is great for watching movies with friends and family who don't want to hear the description track, you can put in an earbud and listen to it yourself, or someday, when we're allowed out in public again, at the movie theater if you don't want to wear the theaters, probably been on dozens of other heads, earphones.
You can even use it if a movie is on TV with no audio description, you might have to resync the track though if there are commercial breaks.
You can find this in the iOS app store by searching for "Spectrum Access," or you can go to this link:
