Kade-AI · Audio description

Make a described video

Keep the actors, music and sound. A narrator describes what happens on screen in the pauses. Then watch it here, download the video or the audio, or read the whole thing as a described transcript.

Signing you in…
A projection booth at dusk: an old film projector with two reels shines a beam through a wall opening into a small theater with red seats, beside stacked film cans, a microphone and a desk lamp.

1. Choose a video

Checking upload limits…

Or a YouTube link

One finished video, not a channel or playlist. If YouTube refuses the server, download it and upload the file instead.

Checking a video is free. Paid processing starts only when you choose to try a preview or create the described copy. You can line up to 10 videos.

2. Choose the narration

Narration choices

These choices are built into the finished copy.

What kind of video is it?

Narrator voice

Test how the voice says a word or name

Up to 200 characters, such as a name or a place. Narration and pronunciation samples are included.

Customize speed, detail, pauses and volume

Only the narrator’s speed changes; dialogue keeps its own pace, and the voice keeps its pitch. Word rates differ a little from voice to voice. Your speeds are remembered for your account on every device.

Rich detail suits commercials, logos and VHS openings; essentials suit dialogue-heavy shows.

Pausing makes the copy a little longer. Minor details are left out rather than pausing for them.

Extra passes (cost more)

Inspects a slower, larger copy. The finished video keeps its normal pace. Takes longer.

An extra pass for consistent names and appearances. People are still named only when the film reveals their names; famous cartoon, puppet and game characters are named when they appear. Not used for videos of two minutes or less.

Describe only part of it

Type times as hours:minutes:seconds, like 1:12:30, or minutes:seconds, like 4:05. Leave From empty to start at the beginning, or To empty to go to the end.

What the video is and who is in it. For example: a 1996 VHS opening; the man in the red sweater is Uncle Bob. Notes belong to this video only.
