VocalEyes - Nationwide audio description company for blind and partially sighted people providing access to the best in the arts. 

Description is a way of capturing the visual elements of a theatre piece, painting, cultural site or environment and making it accessible for blind and partially sighted people. It is about enjoying a good quality experience and being able to share it with friends and family, something which others might take for granted.
