Audio Description

Hi, I'm Vikki Vaughan, and in today's workshop, we'll explore the audio description feature on our Amazon Fire TV Stick. Audio description provides narration for available movies and TV shows. It describes actions, characters, scene changes, on-screen text, and other visual content.

Since we'll be using our remote quite a bit in this workshop, let's do a quick review of a few of the controls on our remote. Near the top of the remote, we find a round, four-way directional pad.

When we're in a menu, we press the top of this round pad to move up the menu. When we want to move down the menu, we press the bottom of the pad. Pressing the left side of the pad, moves us to the left, while pressing the right side of the pad moves us, you guessed it, to the right. The center of the pad is the select or okay button. We'll jump right in by turning on voice view, our screen reader.

Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your email address, name, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you. And don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we are just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on. Plus it connects you to the Hadley community and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free-of-charge. And last but not least, it gives you direct access to the Hadley team. So now is your chance to sign up and join us.
