Audio guides for museums

Let every object speak — in every language.

Write a description once. QR Simple translates it, reads it aloud and turns it into a QR code you can print today. Visitors scan, choose their language, and listen.

For museums

One dashboard for every object, in every language.

Manage texts, images, audio and translations from one screen. No agency, no recording studio, no reprinting when a translation changes hands.

  • Multilingual texts and images for every object
  • Automatic translation by artificial intelligence
  • Optional audio file per language — otherwise the text is read aloud by speech synthesis
  • QR codes ready to print immediately
  • Visitor statistics: how often, and on which day, each QR was opened

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Something else? Write to info@qrsimple.com.

Do we need to record audio for every language?

No. If there is no audio file for a language, the text is read aloud by built-in speech synthesis, so every QR works as an audio guide from day one. You can upload your own recording for any language whenever you like.

How are texts translated?

From the dashboard, one click translates a description into your other languages using artificial intelligence. You stay in control of the result and can edit any translation.

How long does it take to set up one object?

About five minutes to enter the text and images. The QR code can be printed immediately after you save.

What do visitors need?

Just a smartphone with a browser. They go to applink.qrsimple.com, the scanner opens, and scanning a code shows the object's page straight away. There is nothing to download.

What statistics do we get?

For each QR you can see how often it was opened and on which days. Use it to rethink where objects are placed, so visitors can see them more comfortably.
