VITAC’s Described Media team places a priority on quality through every step of the description process.  Our writers are expert at describing actions, characters costumes and text in an unobtrusive manner. The VITAC Quality Control team reviews the description for understandability and makes any necessary revisions. Voiceover talent is cast according to the genre and to ensure easy distinction from characters in the program, and the talent’s description is recorded digitally using state-of-the-art tools and technology.  The final mixed description can be delivered in multiple formats.

To ensure that our audio description meets the highest expectations of consumers, the VITAC Audio Production team includes experienced professionals with and without visual impairments.  Blind audio engineers and quality control specialists have thousands of hours of experience and hundreds of credits in productions ranging from nationally distributed music CDs and audio dramas, to award winning documentaries, and primetime programs broadcast on major TV networks.
