#AudioDescription delivered by a synth is equivalent to casting a robot in place of a human actor because it's less expensive & more films can be produced. That's not how art works, and it shouldn't be how #accessibility operates in the arts. Join this #LinkedIn Audio discussion.

@celrock people need to write letters to Hallmark, pushing them to provide what people are asking for. As they are not one of the major networks, Hallmark is not technically required to provide any description, but if they’re going to do it, the human voice is the way to go. If you want to shoot them a note, I’ve created a basic letter template about TTS #AudioDescription. Everyone’s welcome to use it. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-dvaQEDe4F99M6i5poiUqKbwSnTSXKLy7UPutLdb6fw/edit
