Kaltura Audio Description Services

The Kaltura player now supports audio descriptions to make videos accessible for viewers with vision impairments:

  • Standard audio description (AD) – a pre-recorded audio track that includes spoken or computer-generated narration of visual details, narration occurs during natural pauses.
  • It helps describe on-screen actions, text, and other key visual elements so all viewers can fully experience your content.

When a video includes a standard audio description track, it’s automatically available in the player.

To listen to it:

  1. Play the video.
  2. Click the Audio Description (AD) button on the player control bar. Click to select Standard Audio Description.
