A pilot audio description service in Hong Kong is helping people with visual impairments enjoy sporting events. The service, provided by the Hong Kong Blind Union, promotes equality for people with disabilities.


The union said it had offered the service at 105 sporting events over the past four and a half years. Events included the Hong Kong Sevens rugby tournament and the Hong Kong Open Badminton Championships. The number of users who attended these events was over 1,200.


Audio description provides information about the key visual elements in movies, television shows, plays, and sporting events. This information is useful for people with visual impairment.


The union said a lack of public knowledge and a limited number of service providers meant it remained unpopular in the local sector.


“In Hong Kong, people are more familiar with audio description in films, entertainment arts and dramas,” said Jackie Kwan Cheuk-yin, executive director of the union.


Kwan said audio descriptions have helped blind people enjoy football matches in places like Britain. The union hoped to bring the service to Hong Kong, for the benefit of locals.
