Ever wondered how the visually-impaired watch movies? According to CNET, good storytelling and descriptive audio is important, but what really assists them is a free narration service called Audio Description. To fill in the gaps where images are necessary to explain the story, some films offer video description, an audio track on which the visual elements are described out loud during breaks in the dialogue.
