Live interpretation for guided tours

Speak once. Every guest hears their own language.

The guide speaks into their phone. Guests scan a QR code, pick a language, and hear live interpretation that keeps the guide's voice and intonation. No receivers to hand out, no app for the guest to install.

How it works
01

Start a tour

One tap on your phone. Name the tour, choose the language you want questions in, and speak.

02

Guests scan

The QR opens a page in their browser. They pick a language from the list. No install, no account.

03

They listen, and ask

Audio plus live captions in their language. They hold to ask a question, and you hear it in yours.

The app

Two screens, nothing to learn.

One for the guide, one for the guest. Plus an Android hub for tours that run on transmitters and earpieces.

Android hub

When the group wears earpieces, one phone drives every channel.

The hub sends each language to its own analogue output over USB, so it feeds the transmitters you already own. Every channel has its own level and a Test that speaks the language's own name for ten seconds, so you can check the wiring without re-plugging a single cable.

Why ihos

Everything radio receivers do, without the receivers.

Receivers ihos
Hardware A receiver and earpiece per guest The phone the guest already carries
Languages One per channel, as many as the unit has 98, and the guest can switch mid-tour
Set-up Hand out, charge, sanitise, collect One QR code on your screen
Second guide A second set of hardware A second tour in the app
Captions None Live text in the guest's language
Questions Shouted from the back Hold to ask, you hear it translated
Guest questions

A tour that answers back.

The guest holds a button and speaks their own language. You hear the question in the language you chose, and a banner on your screen tells you someone is asking. Nobody else is interrupted.

A guest is asking. You will hear it now.
