Hey Sandra,
We've been using
3Play Media for videos. They've got good options for audio descriptions and extended audio descriptions. They will also do captions and transcriptions or align videos if you already have one. They work with some other services that can do translations using their system. if you're doing anything technical, I'd recommend having an expert in that technical area that is also a native speaker review their (or anyone else's) work.
The audio description voices are computer generated, but those are a surprisingly decent quality. You can also change up the voice easily and it allows you to make corrections or edits if a pronunciation is off without having to get the whole thing rerecorded. I lead a project that pumps out over 50 videos a year, so this has been a really nice option.
