Earcatch

Earcatch works on the same principle as other app-based accessibility: the description track lives on the customer's phone and synchronises to the film, so the customer chooses the screening rather than the venue scheduling a special one.

That distinction matters more than the technology. A monthly dedicated accessible screening tells a blind customer they may attend at a time that suits the venue. An app-based track means they can come to any performance, with friends, on a Friday night — which is the actual point.

For a cinema the practical work is not installation but communication: making clear on the website and in the app which titles have tracks available, so the customer knows before they travel. That is a content problem in your own booking journey rather than a hardware purchase.

Filmgrail has no commercial relationship with Earcatch and this listing is not an endorsement. It is here because a cinema evaluating its supply chain should be able to see the whole of it in one place. Details change — check anything decision-critical with the supplier.
