As Sieghard says, my light dependent wife appreciates audio description since it points out details she might have missed. Yes, some people find it distracting. In movie theaters, the audio description is only in your headphones, so maybe someone can figure out a way to do that for devices and things like Netflix. Richard
"The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of flying. There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." 🖖🏿 On Dec 8, 2017, at 2:21 PM, Cristóbal <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: This is a different strokes for different folks kind of deal I suppose. I've found when audio description is being played over speakers instead of the privacy of one's headphones, it's distracting. I know there are some chrome plugins that allow for synchronization with simultaneous Netflix streams (say two people in different locations want to wwatch something at the same time) on different computers. But I don’t' know if one stream can be with audiodescription and the other without. Other than that, it's the old fassion count down on two devices and press play solution. I've written Netflix about offering this sort of feature, but who knows, doubt it'll be something we'll see any time soon. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Harry Bell Sent: Friday, December 8, 2017 2:06 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: Audio described separate channel?

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. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Harry Bell Sent: Friday, December 08, 2017 9:53 AM To: Abridged Recipients <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Audio described separate channel?
