Quality

Media accessibility solutions that enhance the viewing experience

  • According to an Ofcom study, up to 80% of television viewers use closed captions for reasons other than hearing loss.
  • Audio description is increasingly used by sighted audiences for multitasking and comprehension reasons.
  • A 2021 EGA study of 15,000 media consumers from France, Italy, Germany, and Spain found that 61% of respondents encountered poor localization quality on a monthly basis and 65% stopped watching a television show or movie in the last year as a result.

Great captions, audio description, and subtitles keep your viewers engaged. We make that happen by leveraging a combination of in-house experts, professional contractors, and technology to achieve the quality and accuracy that cinematic content not only requires, but deserves.

Audio Description

3Play Media Provides Audio Description for Cinematic Content

Audio Description provides an immersive experience for blind and low-vision audiences. These descriptions fit into natural pauses in the video’s audio track to provide context, clarify speakers, and articulate visual elements that are critical to gain a comprehensive understanding of the video.

We offer a range of professional voice artists, numerous synthesized speech options, and extended audio description services so you can tailor your viewers’ audio description experience to best complement your content.
