Hey! I’m Alex and I’ve spent the past 3 years building technology for people that are Deaf / HoH or Blind / Low Vision, all in the entertainment space. I realized that the audio tracks that blind people use to watch movies and TV are amazing to listen to while I drive, work out, and do anything where I can’t stare at my screen. I managed to finish 350 movies last year just by listening! The tracks are the same length as the original visual content and include ALL of the audio, plus a narrator describing what you would be seeing. They’re professionally produced by the studios. I built Audie for the general user to try so that anyone can find time to enjoy new titles and old favorites, but in a way that doesn’t keep us glued to a screen. This is just an alpha and there are thousands of tracks I’ll be making available over time. Ask me anything, I hope you enjoy it, and happy listening!

Personally, I’ve been using Audie to get positively distracted – I get lost listening and forget that what I’m working on is monotonous or boring. That said, this would be AWESOME in hospital radiology departments. Children’s hospitals especially are into painting murals on walls to create environments that are less intimidating and may even allow for patients to listen to music during imaging. Murals are neat, but it’s hard to forget you’re under some massive piece of equipment. Music can be calming, but unless you are super into whatever you first pick it can be hard to be distracted by music. Neither of those things are nearly as immersive as listening to a movie or a show. Audie’s content also has valuable narration that adds necessary context to the listener. In this way, it’s better than simply listening to a show playing on tv.

@mary_katherine_keller that’s so awesome Mary-Katherine! It’s funny you bring that up since I literally just finished a Harry Potter while at a dentist appointment. Totally helped me take my mind off of everything and I can imagine how helpful it would be with an MRI
Mary-Katherine Keller
@alexekoren ah! The dentist! I didn’t even think of that! I’ll totally do that when I see mine on Friday🎉👍🏻

@stevel_sk thanks Steve! Appreciate you checking it out. Let me know if there are any movies you want to try specifically!

Little confused why this hasn't been picked up by a big company like Amazon/Audible yet. It would slay.

Pros:

The user experience! The fun! The options! The entertainment!

Cons:

This needs to go big! Why isn't it everywhere yet???

Yea - I had the same reaction when I first found out about this. Like why is this not already a thing? Especially with podcasts and audiobooks at peak popularity. Sometimes I'd rather be watching a movie.
Beth Fiedler

Love the experience. Congrats! 🙌🙌🙌

Pros:

Fast and easy. Great quality. Now I can multi-task while enjoying an awesome story in the background. Thanks very much for sharing 🙏🙏🙏

Cons:

I'm sure that the library will expand over time
