About this episode

Shawn Keen introduces a new web-based tool for providing video descriptions aimed at blind users.

Happy Friday, everyone. Last night I ran a poll about video description — something blind people have been asking for for years . There are a few solutions out there, but nothing that’s really taken off in a simple, accessible way. So… I finally built what I should have built a long time ago. It’s a straightforward web-based tool designed for blind users: Paste in a YouTube link → press a button → get a clear text description of what’s happening in the video. No complicated setup. No learning curve. Just simple and useful. Now, I know many people prefer AI-generated voices (I do too). But to keep this affordable and scalable, I’m starting with text-only. Adding voice right now would significantly increase costs — likely pushing this into the $50/month range — and my goal is to keep it accessible to as many people as possible. Here’s the deal: I’m opening this up to a small group of early testers first. To get access, you’ll need to be one of my Facebook subscribers. That’s where I’m building and supporting this community. Right now there’s a limited offer: $4.99/month for the next 4 people who join After that, it goes back to $9.99/month By Sunday, I’ll have a live test link…
