About SmartCompanion
SmartCompanion provides digital audio guides for museums, historic sites, exhibitions and other visitor attractions. Its visitor app presents tour stops with text, images and audio, using lists, numbered stations or maps to help visitors navigate a site. Visitors can download content for offline use and listen on their own smartphones or tablets, with or without headphones. Cultural institutions use the web-based service to publish and maintain tour content, customize app branding and offer tours in multiple languages. Optional AI-assisted translation and text-to-speech can help prepare additional language versions; existing audio recordings can also be reused. SmartCompanion offers a free, self-hosted open-source edition and a managed plan with hosting, a content management system, maintenance and support.

LiveTourAudio
LiveTourAudio is a browser-based live audio system for professional guides and tour operators. A guide starts a private tour from a phone and displays a QR code. Guests scan it, join the live stream in their browser, and listen through their own phones and headphones without installing an app or creating an account. It helps groups hear clearly over traffic, crowds, distance, and venue noise while avoiding dedicated receivers to buy, charge, distribute, clean, and collect. Guides can choose the listener-page language, show their location on a map, monitor active listener counts, and review tour analytics. Tours support up to 200 active listeners. The free trial lasts seven days with unlimited tours and no payment card. The paid Large Tours plan is $59 per month with no long-term commitment.
