It's always best to have both platforms at your disposal! I have seen many
comments from iOS users thinking that iOS is The only platform that has full
access ability and works like clockwork and android isn't even worth
considering

Hi,
I wish they would take a leaf out of the ITV Hub for Android, it is a
perfect app for accessibility, including Audio Description, which is not
available on iOS.

Hi,
The Android app is horrible to be frank, and now it has been renamed
to My 5 not Demand 5.

Hello Darran,
This is a message from Charlie Coyle who works in the team here at
RNIB who work on Audio description.
Many thanks for your query.
You can refer to the TV Guide on Channel 5's website to find out which
programmes have been audio described. Please note, there is no AD or
audio description category within the Demand 5 player website or
smartphone apps so viewers will need to identify programmes from the
TV guide and then choose AD once the video has started playing. I know
this mightn't be the easiest way of finding shows with audio
description but, unfortunately, that's the only way when using Demand 5.
A colleague of mine has been able to get shows to play with AD on the
web player but I haven't been able to achieve this when using it with
a screen reader (JAWS). I'm an iOS user and I have got programmes with
AD to work with their iOS app. When the show starts playing, you need
to flick until you get to the audio description off button. Double tap
on that. When you flick to it again, it should then tell you that the
Even though the button's label still says it's off, if the button isat:
selected the AD should play. I do know that the Android app should
work with AD but I'm told it's not the easiest app to use with Talkback.
Unfortunately, I haven't tested it myself so am unable to give you any
specific instructions on activating AD using it.
I'm sorry if the answer I've provided isn't what you were hoping for.
If you have any suggestions as to the accessibility of the Demand 5
website and or apps, please do feel free to either email us or contact
Channel 5 directly if you prefer.
If you have any further or follow-up questions, please do feel free to
email us at any time at the following address:

I hope I've gone some way to answering your query.
Kind regards,
Charlie

Subject: [access-uk] Demand 5 and AD, Anyone?
Hi List.
Has anyone on here been able to access any audio described material on
Demand 5?
I've read the RNIB stuff about it being available from last July, but
no matter how many times I revisit the site and try to access AD
programming, I simply can't do it.
Come to that, I can't even find the "AD" indicator for shows that
carry description!
As you can tell, one's not having much success with the whole demand 5
AD thing. So any useful tips and tricks would be great, before I
contact Channel 5 direct with my difficulties.
I've tried to achieve this using JAWS 14, 16 and 17 with IE11.
Many thanks.
Darran
