VoiceMap for Museums and Attractions

That's your call. You can offer it as a complimentary part of the visit, distributing access at the desk or online, or sell it as a standalone product and take a share of every sale. VoiceMap handles payment and distribution either way.

Yes. If you create your own tour, you script and record it around your exact collection, exhibition or grounds. If you commission a bespoke tour, one of our experienced publishers builds it specifically for your attraction, covering the stops and stories you choose.

Costs depend on the route you choose: creating your own tour on our platform, or commissioning a bespoke one with one of our publishers. We can talk through both options and give you a clear picture of what's involved for your attraction.

Indoors, audio is triggered by the stops you define as visitors move through your collection or exhibition. Outdoors, GPS takes over automatically, so visitors exploring your grounds or gardens hear the right commentary at the right moment. Both work offline, so signal or wifi issues are never a problem.

Because GPS can't reliably work inside a building, the indoor player uses on-screen text directions and images instead. Around five seconds before a location's audio ends, a short direction, a photo of the next stop, and an I am here button appear on screen, so visitors know exactly where to go and can start the next stop themselves once they arrive.

Not necessarily. While we recommend a set route so you can build in context and clear navigation, the interface also displays a carousel of every location's name and thumbnail at the top of the screen, so visitors can jump around and choose their own order if they'd rather explore freely.

Yes. Indoor tours can be divided into sections, which works well for larger museums or galleries. Each section gets its own title, short description, starting directions, and cover image, and can be labelled essential or optional, so visitors can skip whole wings or themes that don't interest them.

Every location needs at least one image, and you can add up to five. The first image is functional: it shows visitors what they should be looking at so they can confirm they're in the right spot. Any additional images can add visual richness, close-up detail, or context beyond that reference shot.

Yes, this is called Dig Deeper. It lets you offer an optional side-location, for example, more works by the same artist in a room, without pulling visitors off the main narrative. It plays at the end of a location, and visitors choose whether to explore it or skip straight to the next stop.

Both. We work with independent museums, historic houses and gardens, as well as larger networks and heritage groups. The Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg is among the museums that have partnered with VoiceMap.
