Earcatch vs Captivox

Visually impaired and wishing to enjoy film, television or theatre? Don't miss a single detail thanks to the audio description in Earcatch. Through your headphones a voice describes what is happening visually. You can use Earcatch in the cinema, in the theatre or at home on the couch. Select the film, episode or show you want to watch and download the corresponding audio description. Put on your headphones and hit ‘play’ as soon as it begins. Earcatch ensures that the audio description is perfectly synchronised with what is happening.

Captivox brings audio descriptions (AD) and closed captions (CC) to any screen — your TV, cinema, or a friend's device.

Then open the app, press Start Listening, and Captivox will sync your downloaded track to what's playing using acoustic fingerprinting — no Bluetooth, no HDMI, no special hardware needed.
