Your museum audio guide, ready to open

Nothing to install: no app, hardware or account. Visitors scan a QR code and listen on their own phone. Remote setup is standard. On-site setup is available in southern France, quoted separately.

Allow about 3 to 4 hours of museum staff time for 10 ready-written stops. That covers gathering texts, approval, a final check, printing and mounting. New writing, internal purchasing and unusual mounting work take extra time.

Add a button or link on your own website so visitors can open the guide before arrival. Copy-and-paste link and buyer details in French.

1. First email and quote: within 2 working days. Send texts, stop count and preferred languages. We confirm scope, reviewers and dates.
2. English preparation: 3 working days after quote approval. We correct the translation and prepare pronunciation notes.
3. Your approval: allow 1 to 2 working days. You approve the English and museum facts before audio production.
4. Other languages and checked audio: 4 to 6 working days. Native reviewers correct the text, rank a short voice shortlist and listen to the complete finished audio. English only usually takes 2 to 3 days at this stage.
5. Final check and opening: 1 to 2 working days. We deliver the route, signs and instructions. You check the route, print and mount the signs, then accept delivery in writing. We invoice after acceptance.

Typical total: about 2 to 3 weeks for 10 stops in 3 languages, with complete texts and prompt approvals. We agree the schedule before starting.

English uses machine translation corrected by a native English speaker. Other translations are corrected by a paid native reviewer who ranks the voice shortlist and listens to every finished audio file before delivery. Aaron reviews French himself. No other language is delivered without native approval. All voices are synthetic.

The demo remains English only. It is an independent historical demonstration, not a Louvre commission. Museum samples are examples, not commissioned work. Japan page. English samples from Japanese texts: Hirayama and Kushiro.

Hosting costs EUR 120 excluding VAT per year from opening. It covers the server and HTTPS, backups, keeping the pages and player working as phones and browsers change, and the monthly visit counts. When a work moves, a label changes or a few sentences need updating, email the change and we update the text and audio within 5 working days: EUR 30 excluding VAT per stop and language, native review included. New stops and full rewrites are quoted.

Offline access is included. Visitors open the route at the entrance and wait until preparation is complete before entering rooms with poor reception. Each month, receive page requests by stop, without visitor tracking. Offline use does not appear in these counts.

You receive all files and a documented handover. You can use your own subdomain. Otherwise, we redirect the printed QR addresses free of charge for 3 years after hosting ends, once you provide the new URLs.

We handle everything technical: the server, the pages, the audio, the QR codes and the print-ready signs. Your team prints the signs and puts them up beside the works.

A link on your own website helps but is optional. We send a ready-to-paste link, and we can add it ourselves if you give us access to your site, or send it straight to whoever manages it.
