Descriptive Video Works

Vancouver, Canada

We believe passionately in an inclusive approach - as a result our team have ensured a practice of inclusive hiring of blind professionals in our Audio Description work and Deaf professionals in our Sign Language Services.

 In addition to our advisory council we have built an industry leading roster of blind narrators and deaf performers as it’s our belief that including blind and deaf professionals in the creation of our work elevates the quality and the audience experience.

About Us:

We’re specialists. That’s the difference. Our writers complete a rigorous certification process and are highly skilled to meet the unique requirements of audio description. Our narrators are individually chosen with our client’s production specifications in mind, and we offer services in 22 different languages.

Research & development. Our advisory council led by expert consultants who themselves are blind, is vital to understanding the needs of blind and low vision consumers of visual media.

Our turnaround. A seamless production process delivers on budget and on time. Our technical expertise guarantees a top quality product, a commitment we’ve made to our clients since 2003.

Quality. Our clients and consumers of audio description recognize the quality of our work. We are a proud member of the Trusted Partner Network and the Netflix NP3 Program.

As a blind professional who has been training others in Audio Description (AD) since 2015, I can honestly say that Descriptive Video Works (DVW) is among, if not the best company I have collaborated with. They have become a leader in the AD industry for consistently updating their standards, educating their clients, and innovating workflows based on input from blind professionals they hire and seek feedback from.
