Today, we’re joined by Dr. Joel Snyder, who is known internationally as one of the world’s first “audio describers.” He is a pioneer in the field of Audio Description, a translation of visual images to vivid language for the primary benefit of people who are blind or have a vision impairment. Since 1981, he has introduced audio description techniques in over 40 states and 64 countries and has made thousands of live events, media projects and museums accessible. Most recently, Dr. Snyder was named a Fulbright Scholar to train audio describers in Greece over a four-week period in 2019.

In 2014, the American Council of the Blind published Dr. Snyder’s book, The Visual Made Verbal – A Comprehensive Training Manual and Guide to the History and Applications of Audio Description, now available as an audiobook and in Braille from the Library of Congress, in screen reader accessible formats, and in English, Polish, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Chinese print editions; a version in Italian is planned for 2022. His PhD is from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona with a focus on audiovisual translation/audio description. Dr. Snyder is the President of Audio Description Associates, LLC and he serves as the Founder/Senior Consultant of the Audio Description Project of the American Council of the Blind.

Belén always felt passionate about video games and learning languages. She also knew she wanted to do something in the gaming industry.

She entered the language industry as soon as she graduated from college and started to work in a game localization company as a linguist and project manager. But that wasn't enough, so she decided to obtain an MA in Audiovisual Translation. But that chapter of her life came to an end when she decided to quit to pursue a new and more motivating challenge: get a Ph.D. in multimedia accessibility.

So she moved from Madrid to Barcelona and developed her thesis on subtitling in virtual reality that she obtained with distinctions. This experience was life-changing, and she could finally understand the importance of accessibility and found a new motivation in life: fight to make fun accessible for everybody. Games were so important for her development as a human being, and why shouldn't games be accessible for everybody?
