Talking Tech Sep 29 2015   ABC iView with Audio Description Update   Now available with Audio Described option on the Android Play Store.   According to Media Access Australia in a recent podcast from them, over 20.000 have used ABC iView since the the 15 month trial started in April 2015.   Considering it was only available on iOs, and recently Android, its a great number.   the ABC iView website should be supporting audio description late October or November, but no date has been announced.   So far I have listened to Glitch, Humans, and now currently Doctor Who.   A Small Number of Disney Audio Described movies on iTunes   In iTunes, if you type in “Blind Viewers” you will get a listing of several dedicated audio described movies.   A small number, but hopefully the start of better things to come.   Apps Specific for Seniors page Launched on the Australian iTunes Store   https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewFeature?id=1042199171&mt=8&mt=8&app=itunes...
