This website is called ViddyScribe. The voice is… well, it’s human and alright. Dunno if I’d want to listen to it for hours, but it works. I think the voice they chose is from California — very light — though I’m not great with accents, so I could be wrong.
Enough of the negativity; why would a grumpy sod like me actually get excited about this? Simple: they have a one‑minute trial period. You can try any YouTube video and it just works. I’ve tested it on The Last of Us, a marble‑run video, and one more I’ve already forgotten.
One issue is that the AI doesn’t know who the characters are. For example, I played a clip of Abby from The Last of Us Part II, and it just said “a woman does X,” not “Abby does X.” But for what it is, it’s not bad.

needs work
I decided to test this out on a youtube video I was already watching. I pasted the link in the edit box on the Realtime page. The only audio description that came up was at the very end of the video, leaving the rest of the video without description. I'm on the free plan, so the video was under five minutes long. How can I get an entire you tube video described and not just the end of it?
I don't know.
I didn't sign up but it worked for me, I just pasted in the video and it described from the beginning. hmm what happens if you press zero as in to go to the start of the video? From what I understand it should work with no issues...
I don’t really like AI descriptions
I really don’t like AI voices doing audio description. It’s so weird. We’re just not there with synthesized voices and infections yet even with the AI voices so they just put expressions in really bad places so that’s why I don’t really go for that. But I hope this is cool for some people that wanna check it out.
had to sign up
Before I started watching that vidoe, I looked for a box or something I coild put the link in. I didn't find one on the main page, unless I'm missing something. After I signed up. I was able to watch that video, and that's where I noticed no audio description was being given.
this is where you go.

the websites a bit tricky, the menu button dind't work so i had to go into focus mode and arrow down to the menu items. it's a bit clunky. you get 15 minutes for free and you can email them for more if you need to. honestly? I'm very impressed with the survice. I don't know what back end AI he's using but it's honestly amazing.
