Description

SmartCompanion delivers digital audio tours for museums, historical landmarks, exhibitions, and various attractions for visitors. The accompanying app showcases tour locations through text, images, and audio content, facilitating navigation via lists, numbered points, or maps. Users are able to download materials for offline access and can listen using their smartphones or tablets, with or without the use of headphones. Cultural organizations utilize this web-based platform to create, manage, and update tour content, tailor the app’s branding, and provide tours in different languages. Additionally, features like AI-driven translation and text-to-speech capabilities allow for the development of further language options, while existing audio files can be repurposed. SmartCompanion also offers a complimentary, self-hosted open-source version alongside a managed service plan that includes hosting, a content management system, ongoing maintenance, and customer support. This flexibility ensures that both institutions and visitors can have a more enriching experience while exploring cultural sites.
