Visitors scan a QR code and start listening immediately on any device - iPhone, Android, or tablet. The audio guide opens directly in their web browser with no app downloads, no account creation, and no friction. There are no tracking prompts or cookie banners - all visitor statistics are truly anonymous and GDPR compliant by design. The interface is designed with accessibility in mind, including high-contrast text and screen reader support for visually impaired visitors, ensuring everyone can enjoy your content.

Generate studio quality, natural-sounding audio from your text using state of the art text-to-speech technology, or upload your own recordings.
