Abstract

Audio description (AD) is a fundamental accessibility feature for people who are blind or have low vision. This paper presents a system for automatic generation of audio description, called CineAD. The system detects gaps in speech and generates these descriptions from the analysis of the original script and subtitles. To evaluate the solution, we automatically generate the audio description script of two movies. The preliminary results indicate that the solution is able to generate descriptions of the most important events of the lm and the size of the descriptions is a major challenge related to the automatic creation of AD scripts.
