Abstract
When talking about audio description (AD), one normally thinks about the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany as three of the most active countries, being English and German the languages used. However, Spain —and Catalonia in particular— should not be underestimated since AD is gaining momentum and more and more projects —both professional and academic— are being carried out. This article aims to review the state of the art of AD in Catalonia, and more specifically the state of the art of AD in Catalan, in order to give it the place it deserves in the international arena.
