AD Personalization
Also known as: Audio Description Customization, Personalized Audio Description
The practice of tailoring audio descriptions to individual user preferences rather than providing a one-size-fits-all narration. Personalization can include varying the level of detail (concise vs. comprehensive), focus (character-driven vs. environment-driven), interpretation level (objective vs. interpretive), and language complexity. Research shows that BLV users have diverse AD preferences shaped by their level of visual acuity, the type of content being consumed, and personal taste, making customization an important frontier in accessible media.
