Audio introduction
In some cases, perhaps due to budget, time constraints or the nature of the visual content, audio descriptive voice overs aren't suitable.
This is where audio introduction may be the solution.
Audio introduction narrates key visual elements before the content begins, ensuring a wider audience can still understood your content.

Accessibility built in
As part of our commitment to inclusive content, we integrate audio description with other accessibility services such as captions, subtitles and BSL.
This ensures your media is inclusive for blind and partially audiences, while also meeting international accessibility standards, including ADA and EAA requirements.
Audio description guidance, shaped by real standards
Audio description is often a regulatory requirement.
At VoiceBox, we provide clear, practical advice on audio description that reflects current broadcast and accessibility standards, including Ofcom guidance for UK broadcasters, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) for digital content, and international accessibility expectations such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
We help you understand when audio description is required, what “good” looks like in practice, and how AD should be delivered across different formats!
Whether you’re working towards compliance, responding to accessibility feedback or planning accessible content from the outset, our team will guide you through the options and recommend an approach that’s proportionate, effective and audience-focused.
