Problem
Museums and cultural institutions struggle to provide engaging multilingual audio guides to visitors without expensive hardware, app downloads, or complex technical workflows. Traditional guide systems require dedicated devices, significant upfront costs, and ongoing maintenance, limiting accessibility for smaller institutions and reducing visitor engagement.
Solution
Walkie Talkie is a state-of-the-art museum guide platform that lets institutions create and publish audio guides without app downloads. Curators write chapter texts and either automatically translate them into the languages they support or use the platform's industry-leading text-to-speech engine to generate narration, or upload their own recordings. Institutions publish guides by placing QR codes at ticketing, entrances, or by artifacts, and visitors access the audio content directly on their own devices. The platform is designed for museum communicators to create content independently, with transparent pricing, analytics, and team collaboration features.
Target Audience
Primary users are museums, cultural heritage institutions, churches, and pilgrimage routes—such as the University of Oslo's Museum of Cultural History, the Vigeland Museum, and the Church of Sweden—that need multilingual audio storytelling for exhibitions and collections.
