Guidance for Describer

CaptionSync's Audio Description feature allows you to submit guidance for the describers. This article shows how.

Sending Guidance for the Describer:

Use the Guidance for Describer feature to send notes and specific instructions for the describers, like instructions about on-screen text, video credits, and other information that should be included in the description results.

• On the Description page, add your notes to the Guidance for Describer field:

• We do not accept attachments on the Guidance for Describer field. So if you have a file and wish to send it to the describer, you can make it available online, using services like Google Drive, Dropbox, YouSendIt, etc. Publish the file as "public" and/or "unlisted". Then paste the URL to your file in the Guidance field, and explain what it pertains to.

Important Notes:

• Our describers analyze each video carefully to determine what visual content should be described. Their goal is to keep the description as concise as possible so as not to take away from the flow of the video. So, although the describer will endeavor to accommodate your request, it may not always be applied.
