Guide in your language. Guests hear theirs.
Speak into your phone or a headset microphone. Guests scan a QR code, put in their own headphones and hear the tour in their language a few seconds behind you, with the text on screen. No receivers to hand out, charge or collect.

For tours where the group does not speak your language
Walking tours, museum visits, factory tours, city groups.
Receivers to hand out and collect
Radio guide sets mean charging, handing out, collecting and counting them, and the one that goes missing.
Now: Guests use the phones and headphones they already carry. You show them a QR code.
A group that speaks another language
You repeat every stop twice, or half the group waits while the other half listens.
Now: You speak once and the group hears the translation in their headphones. One language per tour, chosen before you start.
An interpreter for every tour
Booking an interpreter for each group costs more than the tour brings in.
Now: Billed by the second only while the session runs. Stop it during breaks; guests waiting at the meeting point cost nothing.
How a tour runs
Guests scan a QR code; you press Start and talk.
Show the QR code
Switch on the listen link and show its QR code on your phone. It stays the same for your next tours in the same browser.
Guests scan at the meeting point
They open the page, tap Listen and wait. Waiting costs nothing.
Press Start and talk
They hear you in their language a few seconds behind, with the text on their screen too.
Stop for breaks
Guests stay on the page. Press Start again and the tour continues on their phones.
What you see while you guide
Your words, their translation, and how many guests are listening.
What your guests see
A plain page in their browser: the translation as text, one button to hear it, nothing to install.
SpeechoGood to know
- Up to 20 guests per tour, all hearing the same language.
- Guests need mobile data or Wi-Fi, and their own headphones.
- The translation runs a few seconds behind you. Leave a short pause after a key sentence.
- Use a microphone close to your mouth: street noise makes speech harder to recognise.
- Guests keep the page open. Locking the phone can pause the sound on some phones.
- A session lasts up to two hours. Start a new one for a longer tour.
How you pay
The same pay-as-you-go balance as transcription and text to speech. No subscription.

Live interpreter for tour guides: questions
Do guests need an app?
No. They scan the QR code and the page opens in their phone's browser. No app, no account.
What if a guest arrives late?
They scan the same code and join where the tour is. The text of what they missed is already on the page.
Can each guest choose their own language?
Not yet. One tour translates into one language, the one you pick before starting, and every guest hears that one.
Does it work outdoors?
Yes, as long as your phone and the guests' phones have a connection. Use a microphone close to your mouth so traffic and wind do not drown you out.
How much mobile data does a guest use?
Listening streams the voice, so plan for up to about 170 MB per hour of non-stop speech, usually less, because pauses send nothing. Guests on roaming can use Wi-Fi wherever there is some: at the meeting point, in a museum or in a café.
How many guests can listen?
Up to 20 per tour.
How is it billed?
By the second from your pay-as-you-go balance, only while the session runs. Guests waiting on the link before you start cost nothing.
Your next tour, in your guests' language.
No receivers to hand out: guests listen on their own phones.
