About
The Audio Description Project (ADP) is an initiative of the American Council of the Blind dedicated to expanding the availability and quality of audio description across all entertainment media. Audio description (AD) is a narrated track that describes visual elements of a film, TV show, or live performance for people who are blind or have low vision.
What It Does
ADP maintains a searchable database of films and TV programmes that have audio description tracks, with information on where to find them. The site also lists cinemas that regularly show films with AD, streaming platforms with AD libraries, live theatre companies offering AD performances, and museums with AD tours. An advocacy section helps people request AD from venues and report missing descriptions.
Who It Helps
Blind and low-vision people who want to enjoy films, TV, live theatre, and cultural venues with audio description. Also useful for families and friends of blind people who want to choose accessible entertainment options together.
