Studies on the reception of blind and visually impaired people to the audio description of audiovisual products in the Arab world context are relatively scarce. This study quantitatively explores how the Jordanian audience with visual impairment reacted to the Jordanian Netflix drama series ‘Madrast Al-Rawabi LilBanat’ (AlRawabi School for Girls) with audio description. The data were collected from one hundred fifty-two participants using a 16-Likert scale item questionnaire that consists of five constructs, namely, Watching Series Habits, Technical Issues, Comprehension and Understanding, Attitude and Future Actions & Recommendations. The findings showed that the technical aspects, and the participants’ comprehension and understanding of the audio description significantly affected their attitudes. The findings of this study can be useful for translation training and streaming platforms. The researchers recommend further audio description research in the Arab world.

People with visual impairment need a special form of audio-visual translation (AVT) to have access to multimedia products such as series and movies. Audio description (AD) is an AVT mode that describes what is happening in the images through words. It is a necessary accessibility tool that allows the blind and visually impaired to visualize scenes through spoken material. This study examines the types of information covered in the AD of the Jordanian Netflix drama series ‘Madrast Al-Rawabi LilBanat’ (AlRawabi School for Girls) following a corpus-assisted approach. Subsequent to watching the series and transcribing the verbal AD content, the researchers conducted frequency and concordance (KWIC) analyses using the Wordsmith 6 (WS6) software package to identify the categories of information covered in the AD. The findings showed six categories, namely description of characters, description of actions, interpersonal interactions, description of settings, emotional states, and on-screen texts. This study recommends conducting further research on AD in the Arab world to expand the accessibility services provided by official TV channels and streaming platforms.
