About ViddyScribe
ViddyScribe is an AI audio description platform that generates standard or extended description for whole video libraries in minutes. Built on Google Gemini, it writes timed descriptions, voices them in 98 languages, and exports a WebVTT or SRT description script, a WAV description track, or a finished MP4, with a web editor and API for review and automation.
