The “Art, Science and Sport” Charitable Foundation, together with the Russian Ministry of Culture, has launched an application for blind moviegoers, reports Rambler.

With its help, people who have lost their sight or are blind from birth will be able to “watch” movies at home on a smartphone or tablet at home, as well as in a cinema.

The application is based on the technology of synchronizing the audio track of the audio description with the sound track of the film. Tiflocommentary is a sound conversion of what is currently on the screen. Simply put, this is a function of the speech description of the action on the screen for those who do not see this action.

According to Fatima Muhomedzhan, a representative of the “Art, Science and Sport” Foundation, a decision was made to transfer all new audio descriptions for Russian films to the application.

Thus, blind people will be able to receive much more information while watching (or rather, listening to) films.
