# Audio description animated icon

Audio description turns on: a narration waveform opens beneath the AD letters on the caption plate. Light: the wave draws in from left to right as its swing grows, overshoots a touch and settles on. Strong: the wave writes faster, swings wider and rings twice before it settles. The plate and letters never move; the reverse flattens the wave and draws it away.
