Indeed that is good. On the flipside I find the lack of audio description on various TV / streaming services quite irritating.

I realise I am in a fortunate situation in that my TV can read the subtitles out loud (not a brilliant voice but at least it means I can at least get a gist of what's going on). I get to test some exciting technology in this area and it's going to keep getting better. I'm sure most people don't have this though so I see TV accessibility as a work in progress.

I'd much rather have a proper audio description on more programs though.

In the last year or so for example the cinema that I go to has now got audio description on most showings which is great.
