Descriptive Videos Catalog.. A registered patron of the Talking Book Center may borrow descriptive videos to watch on their own VCR.  The videos will be mailed to you.  You return them through the mail when you have watched the movie. 

Descriptions make television programs, feature films, home videos, and other visual media accessible to people who are blind or visually impaired by providing descriptive narration of key visual elements in programs. We describe key visual elements in a program that a viewer who is visually impaired would ordinarily miss. Actions, costumes, gestures and scene changes are just a few of the elements that, when described, engage the blind or visually impaired viewer with the story. A carefully written script is prepared by a trained describer, read by a professional narrator, and mixed in a professional audio production suite for broadcast-quality results. A full DVS® mix consists of the main program audio combined with these narrated descriptions.

Call the Talking Book Center at 810-732-1120 to have descriptive videos sent to you or e-mail. your requests
