The Audio Description Project partners with UniDescription and the National Park Service to create audio descriptions for NPS brochures. Visit the UniDescription website to learn more about the project’s history, peruse related research, listen to described brochures, and get advice on describing images. The UniD app is available for Android and iOS.
Brochure descriptions are created through an intense hackathon-style virtual event called a Descriptathon. Teams composed of NPS employees and sighted and blind volunteers work together to complete tasks, collect points, and make national park materials more accessible. ADP helps recruit volunteers, so check back to find out when the next Descriptathon will be!
