What is audio description and how can I use it?
Audio descriptions allow visually impaired students to access content that is normally not available to them just by listening to the program. Between the dialogue, narrators describe actions, gestures, scene changes, or text that may appear on the screen. All of our TV broadcasts have audio descriptions, which are available on your television’s Secondary Audio Program channel, or SAP channel. If your TV was made after 1995, it probably has SAP options as long as the sound is stereo rather than mono. Often, SAP can be enabled through the menu on your TV. Consult your user’s manual for directions.
