A House Made of Splinters follows three children in Eastern Ukraine, protected by caring social workers. To make this story accessible, Dicapta used AI-driven procedures for dubbing and audio description, offering an immersive experience for English-speaking viewers and visually impaired audiences alike. This innovative approach saved time, cut costs, and set a new standard for accessible media.

Explore our innovative INTEGRA project, funded by the Department of Health to improve cultural competencies within IEP teams for Latino English Learners with Disabilities. Led by Dr. Maria Victoria Diaz and Dr. Conchita Hernandez, this initiative uses AI-driven video modeling to tailor educational content for caregivers, teachers, and classmates.

Audio Description (AD) is more than just a supportive tool—it's essential for making content not only accessible but also enjoyable for blind children. In the animated series Ziggy and the Zoo Tram, broadcast by Semillitas, we faced the challenge of transforming a visually driven story into a fully immersive experience. Curious about how much of a difference AD can make? In our blog, we share insights on the challenges and solutions involved in describing visually complex scenes, ensuring the content remains both informative and entertaining for young audiences. Listen to a side-by-side comparison of scenes with and without AD to truly understand the impact AD can have. You will be surprised!

Ricardo Lopez is the coordinator for Learning Media resources at Gallaudet University and has been a member of our advisory board for over ten years. He is proficient in three languages: English, Spanish, and ASL.  "I am deaf; I was born deaf," is the first thing he told us during his interview. Ricardo was born in Puerto Rico to a hearing family that did not know anything about deafness.  "Back in the old days, my family didn't know how to communicate with me or had any deaf family members. So, when I was about four years old, that's when they found out. Obviously, I hadn't developed any sort of language."
