Television and DVD

There are a number of different options available to help you to enjoy television. Which one is right for you will depend upon the type of visual and hearing impairment you have, but listed below are some of the options:

  • audio description - An audio voice that describes the action in between the dialogue
  • signed TV - A person signing in the right hand bottom corner
  • subtitles - these are words on the TV screen of what is being said
  • talking teletext- it uses a friendly "speaking" keyboard. You can select any page and hear its contents spoken by a voice synthesiser.
