The Tokyo Olympics has held daily events and will close today (8th). For the first time this year, an organization has cooperated with a TV station to provide visually impaired people with "acoustic experience" and experience the current events of athletes through the provision of live Olympic games plus oral video services. Passionate, there is a female optometrist from Malaysia who has settled in Hong Kong for more than ten years. Because her academic qualifications are not recognized in Hong Kong, she can’t perform eye examinations for the visually impaired. With a passion for "coarseness", she has devoted herself to sports oral videographers to overcome Guangdong. The difficulty of speaking in a non-native language, with her soft tones and memorizing a lot of sports information, brought her closer to the visually impaired.


The visually impaired Ahui couldn't understand the situation of the game only by live broadcast on TV, and he had to open the program "open the sound body" to truly understand the actual situation of the game.

Visually impaired people are chasing the game by the cold feeling of sports

"Hello everyone, I am an intern in the current session of the sound body. I have not eaten any food. Don't you know if you have eaten or not?" Ahui, a 33-year-old visually impaired person, will provide sports for the visually impaired. When the video dictation online station "Kai Sheng Ti" revisited the badminton game, he immediately recognized the voice of one of the female commentators and shouted: "Malaysian sister!"

As the camp instructor, Ah Hui, except for the days when the work starts on a few days of each month, when the Olympic games are held in the rest of his free time, he will pay attention to the designated live broadcast of the mobile app "Open Sound Body". He will take the time to listen when he has time. He said he was not a sports fan and was not interested in it in the past.

"From the small to the big, I am interested in sports events, because the process is so fast, I am not good at sports, and the country is so easy to make troubles, and I am not interested in research."

If the guide dog is the same as the vision of the visually impaired, then the "sound-opening body" becomes their hearing sense of "sounding experience".

Badminton is really exciting. A dramatic result makes you want to catch up. You listen to it and think about it. Will you win when you die?

Praise the oral video and describe it carefully: as if listening closely to the scene

During the Tokyo Olympics this year, the Association for the Blind has recruited 21 volunteers to participate in sports oral video training courses in advance to provide practical platform training for the UEFA Champions League in June and the Tokyo Olympics in July. The live event oral video is also opened for Hui Eyes, "Badminton is really exciting. A dramatic result makes you want to catch up. You listen to it, and you will win when you die?" He also listened to the oral video of the opening ceremony of the Olympics, which he highly praised. The dictator "describes the layout of the entire venue so meticulously, and every performer appears in the performance stage, and its design is as if you are listening to the scene." He is particularly grateful for the dictator's intentions. "He uses knowledge and Skills accompany you through every show time, so the dictator is not just the average person who thinks he is our volunteer, I think he is our friend."

Strictly speaking, Cantonese is my fourth language. When I made this oral comment, there were a lot of words that I didn’t know how to describe or describe. Suddenly I felt that my Chinese was really bad.

Izzy, a Malaysian female commentator based in Hong Kong

Determined to serve the visually impaired to overcome the difficulties of non-native Cantonese

One of the female commentators recognized by Ahui, Izzy, was originally not a native of Hong Kong. She was from Malaysia. After working as an optometrist for many years, she came to Hong Kong about 12 years ago to apply for a PhD degree in optometrists. The degree is not recognized by Hong Kong. She turned to work as a business consultant. She is currently living in Hong Kong. She said with a smile, "Cantonese is strictly speaking my fourth language. When I made this oral comment, many words might be mine. She has a good knowledge to describe or describe, and suddenly feels that her Chinese is really bad." The only determination that made her become a sports oral videographer was due to her enthusiasm for serving the visually impaired.

"I used to be an optometrist in Malaysia. I can’t do my practice in Hong Kong. Relatively speaking, I can’t help him check his eyes. Instead, I opened another window. So I can use it. I can serve the visually impaired in the form of narration, so I don’t have to check my eyes and limit myself.” During the Olympics, Izzy provided oral video services at the opening ceremony, the badminton men’s singles bronze medal and the final. The closing ceremony will also be held today. Participate and hope that the Paralympic Games to be held in August will continue to provide services for the visually impaired.

"When I arrived at the Association for Advancement, I heard the members call out my name and narrate me. I felt really happy because I interacted with them a lot, which is very important in their daily life. She also pointed out that when the volunteers originally wanted to give back to the society when the social atmosphere in Hong Kong was sluggish, she hoped that with limited abilities, she could make the places she cherished so much better.

The Jockey Club "Open Sound" sports oral video service will be launched in 2020. It is hosted by the Hong Kong Association for the Blind and donated by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charitable Trust Fund. The service currently focuses on football matches. In addition to live broadcasts, there are also football matches. Services are provided on site. In the 2020/2021 season, the visually impaired have watched seven "local waves". During the Olympics, some live events such as badminton, football, basketball, table tennis, sand volleyball and women's volleyball were dictated by video, Ji 8 The Paralympic Games will continue to provide related services.
