Questions, answered
How do blind and visually impaired people watch movies?
With audio description. It's an extra narration track that describes the key visual details of a film — actions, scenery, facial expressions and on-screen text — in the natural gaps between dialogue. With the KinoSync app, that narration streams privately to your phone and earphones, in perfect time with the screening, so you experience the film alongside everyone else in the room.
What is audio description?
Audio description is a spoken narration that fills in what's happening on screen for blind and low-vision audiences — who is present, what they're doing, where the scene is set and how it looks — slotted between the lines of dialogue so nothing important is missed and nothing essential is talked over.
Do I need special equipment at the cinema?
No. You don't need any special hardware or a dedicated accessible screening. Bring your phone and earphones, open KinoSync, choose audio description and press play — the narration stays in time with the film for the whole screening.
Can I adjust the audio description?
Yes. You can set the description to a comfortable volume in your own earphones, independently of the cinema's sound, so the narration sits exactly where you want it against the film.

You can browse every film available with audio description on the KinoSync movies page — each title shows exactly which accessibility tracks it offers.
