Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an audio description take to produce?

Turnaround time depends on the length of the content, whether you're using AI or human voice-over, and whether post-production is required.

For TV or film content, a scriptwriter typically completes about 60 minutes of description per day.
Human narration depends on the selected voice talent’s availability — we usually allow 2–3 working days for recording and review.
For AI audio description, we can complete a 90–120 minute film in around 2 working days.
If video editing is required (e.g. mixing or embedding AD), we may need an additional 1–2 days.

Most projects are completed within 5–7 working days, and we’ll confirm your specific delivery timeline at the quote stage.

What does an audio description cost?

Pricing depends on your project’s length, narration type, and post-production needs.

Our starting rate for AI-generated audio description is $16 per finished minute (scriptwriting and delivery included).
Human-narrated AD is quoted individually based on the voice talent selected and production complexity.

What is your audio description process?

We offer a full-service workflow from initial review to final delivery. The process typically includes three stages:

Scriptwriting
Our experienced scriptwriters craft descriptive narration that fits natural gaps in dialogue or audio. The first draft is shared for your approval, and we’ll work collaboratively to refine the copy.
Narration Recording or Creation
Choose between professional human voice talent or natural-sounding AI voice-over. We have a broad selection of narrators in multiple languages, and you’re welcome to shortlist favourites or let our team cast for you.
Post-Production
Once the narration is approved, we’ll mix the audio with your video. We can deliver fully mixed video files or standalone AD tracks in any format you need.

If your video has limited pauses, we may recommend a separate AD version using ‘pause-and-describe’ methods for maximum accessibility.

What if my content doesn’t have space for audio description?

Some videos — especially fast-paced promos or dense dialogue — have few natural breaks for added narration.

In these cases, we may recommend creating an alternate version using “extended” audio description, where the video pauses to allow for a detailed voice-over.

While this approach increases production time and cost (due to more writing, narration and editing), it offers a higher level of accessibility — especially valuable for blind and visually impaired audiences.

What’s the difference between AI and human audio description?

AI voice-over is ideal for fast turnarounds and educational or corporate content. Human voice-over adds nuance and emotion — better for drama or entertainment projects.

Can you translate my audio description into other languages?

Yes. We offer audio description translations in hundreds of languages, adapted for cultural and accessibility standards in each region.

What platforms or formats can you deliver in?

We deliver to any spec — standalone audio files or fully mixed tracks for broadcast, OTT platforms, or web.
