TV & Movie Access
It is a pleasure to share our passion for using technology to enhance access to TV and Movies for everybody, regardless of the audience's sensory abilities. Technology helps us produce and deliver high-quality AD (audio descriptions) and CC (closed captions) for selected educational TV programs and films.
This work is funded under a grant from the U.S. Department of Education- Office of Special Education-OSEP, project "Enhanced Access to Video for Students with Sensory Disabilities through Emerging Technology," TV Access H327C210001.
Collaboration
We invite Selected producers of TV/Films to review the general criteria for participating in our project

- Are you exempt from FCC regulations regarding closed captions and audio description?
- Is your content available now, or will it be widely available in the U.S.?
