Your visitors are diverse. Struggling to engage everyone with the same audio guide content?

Your mission is educational outreach, but visitors arrive with different languages, ages, and knowledge levels. How do you ensure your collection truly serves them all?

Your museums and sites welcomes history enthusiasts, families, researchers, art lovers, and casual visitors alike, but how do you speak to all of them without sounding generic?

Many cultural spaces face this challenge. Rich in stories, heritage, and experiences, but unsure how to tailor content that resonates with each visitor.

Podego offers an open, free audio tour platform with multiple styles & language levels designed for all visitors.

Guides with personality to engage all ages and levels

Easily create different tracks for the same exhibit. Offer a kid-friendly version with simpler language, an "expert" track for enthusiasts, or accessible options for different learning styles.

Audience habits and behaviors have shifted - connect on deeper level

The average time a museum visitor spends looking at a single work of art is less than 30 seconds (Met, Art Institute of Chicago). Meanwhile, 90% of Gen-Z & millenials audience prefers short-form content (Samba Recovery, 2024).

Does this sound familiar?

  • Your visitor engagement metrics stays the same after audio guides implementation.

  • You do not have enough budget to translate into different languages. Agencies and freelancers charged you high price and you spend a lot of time managing the multiple international interns.

  • You created audio guides with Text-to-Speech but it’s not as high quality as you’d like it to be.
