RE: Good light detector for small L E D lights

I often joke with my sighted wife that I made a trade of a greencard for her pair of good working green eyes. The best light detector on the market for sure… I’ve got a light detection app on my phone, but honestly can’t recall the last time I used it. From: viphone@googlegroups.com

Not that I know of, the audio descriptions are part of the overall audio. Having said this, most people don't mind hearing the audio descriptions at all, many even think it adds even to the experience for the sighted as it draws their attention to things they otherwise may not pay attention to.
