Accessible entertainment isn’t often easily accessible. The mainstream entertainment industry doesn’t cater to people who can’t see or hear well; people with PTSD, autism or epilepsy; or those who are learning English as a second language. These population segments can become isolated, and then marginalized when they can’t enjoy the latest feature film – even if it has subtitles – or best-selling book.
Wenebojo is a new streaming service designed to help solve that challenge with bookcasts. A bookcast is an immersive experience that combines audio narration, pictures and closed captioning.
