Audio description options
Standard audio description
Communicate what’s taking place on-screen with audible descriptive narration. The narration is designed to be placed into pre-existing pauses in your videos’ original audio tracks. With this careful timing, the descriptions won’t overlap with any potentially important elements from the original audio.
Extended audio description
Generate more in-depth, detailed descriptions of what’s happening on-screen. With extended audio description, additional pauses are added to your video to provide helpful details without overlapping with the original dialogue and other audio elements. Verbit’s extended audio description is affordable and adaptable, offering comprehensive understanding to your audience.
