Workflow

From timed cues to readable audio description scripts.

Audio description work needs timing discipline and writing clarity. MediaText Studio gives teams a practical way to keep cue timing, source timecode, review text and export files together before the script goes to a writer, narrator, producer or accessibility reviewer.

Spot the timing context

Use video, source timecode, FPS and waveform context to place or inspect timed cues before script export.

Prepare readable script text

Use AD Script DOCX when subtitle line breaks should be joined so each cue reads as a continuous sentence.

Review with people, not only players

Export DOCX, RTF, TXT, CSV, TSV or XLSX revision files when producers, narrators or reviewers need a human-readable script.

Keep the project traceable

Save the project with tracks, cues, style, video reference, start timecode, warning settings and waveform cache.

For AD Teams

Built for audio description writers and post-production handoff.

Audio-description scripts often move between writers, narrators, producers, access coordinators and editors. A clear script export with cue numbers and frame-based timecodes keeps that review process easier to discuss and revise.

MediaText Studio does not write the description for you. It gives professional teams a controlled Mac workspace for timing, preparing, reviewing and exporting the script material that supports human audio-description work.

Exports

Audio description scripts need more than one file type.

AD Script DOCX

Export a Word-readable AD script with cue numbers, wide frame-based timecodes and joined cue text lines.

DOC

Review documents

Use DOCX, RTF, TXT, CSV, TSV or XLSX when the file is for review, production notes or accessibility approval.

SUB

Timed text files

Keep SRT, WebVTT, EBU STL, Spruce STL, SBV, SAMI/SMI, MicroDVD, TTML, iTT and related subtitle files available when a playback system needs timed text.

MOV

Video review

Create transparent subtitle overlays or burned-in video outputs when picture review needs visible timed text.

FAQ

Audio description script questions.

Can MediaText Studio export audio description scripts?

Yes. MediaText Studio includes AD Script DOCX export for script-style review. It keeps cue numbers and frame-based in/out timecodes, then joins hard subtitle line breaks inside each cue so the text reads more like a continuous script line.

Is this for audio description writers or subtitle editors?

Both can use it. Subtitle editors can prepare timed cues and exports; audio-description writers, narrators and reviewers can use the script-style documents for writing, review and production notes.

Does MediaText Studio automatically write audio description?

No. Audio description is editorial work that requires human judgment. MediaText Studio supports the timing, review and export workflow around that work.

Can production media stay offline?

Yes. MediaText Studio is designed for local Mac workflows. The app does not upload project media, subtitle text, waveform data or exports for processing.
