VocalEyes is a registered charity in England[1] that works with arts organisations across the United Kingdom to identify and remove barriers to access and inclusion for blind and partially sighted people.
Established in 1998, its primary activity is to provide live audio descriptions of theatrical plays.
[2] The organisation has subsequently worked with museums, galleries and heritage venues to deliver audio descriptions for exhibitions, as well as conducting research and training to increase disability-access to the arts.
[3] The charity has worked with Open House London,[4] the Royal National Institute of Blind People,[5] and the Art Fund.
[7] In 2013 the project won a Jodi Award, for the best use of digital technology in widening access for disabled people[8] and in 2016 the recordings were released under an open licence.
