What does an audio description writer do?

An Audio Description Writer creates concise, vivid descriptions of visual elements in movies, TV shows, theater performances, and other media for blind or visually impaired audiences. They carefully script narration that conveys essential visual details, such as actions, settings, facial expressions, and scene changes, without interfering with dialogue or important sounds. Their goal is to make visual content more accessible and immersive for those who cannot see it.

To thrive as an Audio Description Writer, you need strong writing skills, a solid grasp of visual literacy, and an understanding of accessibility standards, often supported by a background in media, English, or communications. Familiarity with broadcast scripting software, audio editing tools, and guidelines such as the American Council of the Blind (ACB) standards is typically required. Attention to detail, the ability to convey information concisely, and effective collaboration are key soft skills for this role. These skills are crucial to ensure accurate, engaging, and accessible descriptions that enhance the experience for visually impaired audiences.

What are the common challenges audio description writers face on the job?

Audio Description Writers often face the challenge of delivering concise yet vivid descriptions within tight time constraints, as descriptions need to fit into natural pauses in dialogue. Balancing the need for accuracy with the goal of maintaining audience engagement can be demanding, especially when working with fast-paced or visually complex content. Additionally, close collaboration with producers, editors, and voice talent is often necessary to ensure the final product is both accessible and true to the original material. Staying updated on evolving accessibility standards and best practices is also important to maintain high-quality work in this field.

Job description

Company Description

An Enterprise client is seeking French-speaking coding experts with JSON expertise to combine language fluency, customer service judgment, and technical evaluation skills to help improve the quality, accuracy, and usability of AI-generated outputs, in an audio format.

Work is expected to begin right away, and continue for 2-3 months, with the potential for additional work beyond this initial project. Experts may work at any schedule of their choosing, for as long as tasks are available.

Experts (Operators) will review a mix of customer service-style responses and technical content, with a strong focus on coding knowledge, JSON structure, formatting accuracy, and overall response quality. Experts should be comfortable identifying whether outputs are clear, helpful, natural, technically accurate, and aligned with project guidelines.

Native fluency in French, as spoken in Canada, is required. Experts with multilingual fluency may be offered work for this project and/or others, in additional languages.

Job Description

Tasks include:

  • Participating in live, real-time conversational scenarios with AI systems
  • Reviewing and labeling conversation transcripts
  • Evaluating AI-generated responses using structured rubrics and providing written justifications
  • Assessing responses for language quality, customer experience, technical accuracy, formatting, and JSON structure
  • Capturing required session artifacts, including recordings, Session IDs, and tool-call/console logs
  • Environment preparation and tool verification before each session

Experts should speak naturally and spontaneously, as if responding in real time, without pre-planned, written, or scripted responses - the client is evaluating natural voice cadence.

Qualifications

To be considered for this project, experts are required to pass a basic computational concepts assessment (JSON structures, function, general reasoning, and language proficiency), which takes about 15 minutes to complete, and will not be compensated. If the expert passes the assessment, they will be provided with further onboarding steps.

“Operator” requirements:

  • Strong spoken-language proficiency: C1/C2-level fluency (CEFR) in the target evaluation language, verified through a speaking/listening assessment, not just a resume claim.
  • Technical literacy: JSON fluency required - reading, validating, troubleshooting, and identifying structural/formatting issues
  • Audio setup: capable of producing clear audio quality with no background noise

Ideal experts will have strong attention to detail, strong written communication skills, and the ability to evaluate both the customer experience and the technical correctness of a response. A solid understanding of JSON is especially important, including the ability to read, validate, troubleshoot, and identify structural or formatting issues.
