Task

Produce an accessible, descriptive audio listing voiceover script that gives visually impaired and audio-first shoppers a comprehensive, vivid understanding of {{artifact_replica_name}} sold by {{museum_institution}}.

Method

1. Review {{physical_specifications}} to identify key dimensions, weights, textures, colors, and finishes.

3. Draft systematic visual-to-audio translations describing the front, profile, tactile feel, and functional utility.
4. Integrate {{historical_context}} to explain how this reproduction relates to the original archive piece.
5. Summarize {{educational_takeaway}} to reinforce the cultural value and provenance of the store item.
6. Script clear closing packaging, safety, and care instructions relevant to {{store_department}}.
7. Review the draft aloud to ensure cadence, pronunciation clarity, and descriptive accessibility compliance.

Constraints

• MUST follow WCAG non-visual descriptive guidelines by prioritizing concrete spatial details over subjective adjectives.
• MUST keep the total audio narration between 90 and 120 seconds (approx. 200 to 260 spoken words).
• MUST NOT use purely visual references like 'as shown in the photo' or ambiguous directional pointers.
• Pronunciation notes MUST be provided for any specialized historical or material terms.

Output format

• Voiceover Metadata: Target duration, recommended voice tone, and phonetic pronunciation guide.
• Audio Script: Formatted spoken narration divided into [Spatial Description], [Historical Provenance], and [Care & Handling].
• Accessibility Meta Text: 100-word plain text alternative suitable for screen reader image alt-attributes.

Self-review

• Does the script accurately convey the educational mission of {{museum_institution}}?
