Abstract(in English) We are conducting research with the aim of realizing a new type of audio descriptions with the aim of further enhancing broadcasting services for the visually impaired. The new service distribute information equivalent to audio descriptions to tablet terminals such as smartphones in synchronization with broadcast programs. In this paper, we report the results of a questionnaire survey targeting the visually impaired regarding the basic elements required for audio descriptions services of live TV sports programs. As a result of analyzing the obtained answers, the satisfaction level of visually impaired people tends to increase by enrich the content and amount of information provided such as the state and condition of the players in addition to the progress and play status of the game. On the other hand, there was a tendency for dissatisfaction to increase when the presentation timing for the event was delayed, such as the correspondence with the sound that was played in the program. Although some problems were found from the results of the questionnaire, the usefulness as a new type of audio description service using the Internet was shown.
