Add Audio Descriptions to Hulu for the Blind and Visually Impaired
Add Audio Descriptions to Hulu for the Blind and Visually Impaired
Why this petition matters
Hulu is a streaming service that allows subscribers to stream current and historical television series, movies and Hulu original programming via the internet, mobile device or streaming device. It offers a wide variety of programming, many of which is derived from major television networks. Much of this content is originally televised with audio description tracks available to viewers who are blind or visually impaired. This special audio track describes to the viewer the non-visual scenes and actions on the screen allowing an individual with a visual impairment to have equal access to quality programming. For an example of audio description be sure to take a look at the attached video.
Currently, Hulu does not make these tracks available to their subscribers. Please sign this petition to show Hulu that this feature is vital for individuals with visual impairments and to encourage them to implement this feature into their service.
