You might not have considered the work behind making audio descriptions, or who might benefit from it. Here is a nice article on that.

. . . the entire process of creating audio descriptions took the team about three hours for every minute of video.

Woww! The effort the organization puts forth for a relatively small percentage of the population…! Who else would do this except Jehovah's people?

I just love the photo of the little boy enjoying the convention with his earphones on…

Perhaps he cannot see very well what is happening on the screen, but he can still “see”…

It's also an excellent way to listen to talks or videos while you're driving or doing something else.  The video descriptions really make up for not being able to see the visuals! ❤️

Bro. Limbo (and his wife who is not blind) is a friend of ours. 😍

Very skilled in using braille. He owns a machine that can type it.

He gives good talks in the congregation.

 

We got really excited and happy when we see him on the article!!!

By the way, he is the blind brother on the right side of the photo (wearing gray Barong).

A must-have item of the Filipino men’s wardrobe, the barong, with its classic sheer fabric that's complemented by a tailor-made Camisa de Chino (undershirt that's designed to be worn untucked)

Yes! 😍😍😍

 

by the way, did you notice our convention badge card? because the Tagalog word for "Faith" is so long—"Pananampalataya", the photo on the badge card got edited out. 😅

I noticed that. I was wondering what that was would be which year’s badge card, because I don’t remember seeing such card in any recent years. I had to look up that long word on google to find out to presume that it was indeed 2021 badge card.

Yes, but could you imagine the efforts put into making these descriptions?

It’s past midnight. Sleep eludes me. I’ve listened to the talks for the blind and visually impaired in situations such as this. It’s the same material we see, but a rich depth has been given to it. And I love the way the songs are sung. 
Yes, for something so very detailed, such love goes into its production. You can almost feel it. 
Well, head phones set, and off I go to the convention!
