A welcome for visitors, even without a staffed reception.
WayWyser helps site owners turn research, interpretation panels, archive material and local knowledge into a polished tour visitors can use immediately, without downloads, ticket-desk equipment or a major production project.
How visitors use it
How a QR-code audio tour works.
Listen
Audio, text, images, maps and languages sit together in one clean mobile experience.
Explore
Visitors move at their own pace, with outdoor routes, indoor stops and supporting media ready when they need them.

Multilingual stories on visitors' own phones.
WayWyser can combine narration, route maps, stop images, historical notes, language choice and simple playback controls. It feels familiar to visitors and practical for the team running the site.
- AI-assisted scripts with editor approval before publishing.
- Natural narration and translation for international visitors.
- Browser-based access from QR codes, with no app store friction.
- Outdoor GPS routes or indoor tap-through stops where GPS is unreliable.
Where it works
Interpretation for sites with or without a staffed welcome.
Historic sites and monuments
Help visitors understand the place around them when no guide is on hand. Start with the stories and interpretation material you already have.
More for historic sites
Use your existing panels, guide notes, archive research and local knowledge as the starting point. AI helps shape a first draft, then your team reviews the facts, names, dates and tone before anything goes live.
Visitors get a clear story at the moment they need it, with audio, images, text and language choices on their own phone. No handsets, no fixed screens, and no app download.
Gardens, trails and town routes
Guide people through open sites, landscapes and streetscapes with stops that make sense on the route.
More for gardens and trails
Build the tour around places where visitors naturally pause: a viewpoint, planting scheme, old boundary, sculpture, habitat, street corner or local story. Each stop should earn its place on the route.
The guide can combine a simple map, stop images, short narration and visitor languages. Before launch, walk the route, check reception and make sure the first QR code is easy to find.
Protected and sensitive sites
Use a freestanding or removable QR code where fixed hardware, cables, screens or intrusive installation are not appropriate.
More for sensitive sites
Keep the interpretation light on the place itself. A small sign, leaflet, ticket or temporary marker can open the full guide without attaching equipment to historic fabric or fragile surroundings.
The content can also guide visitor behaviour: where to stand, what not to touch, how to follow the route and why the site needs care.
For site owners
Launch without turning interpretation into a year-long production job.
Start with what you have
Use existing panels, guide notes, archive material, local research or a guided first draft.
Stay in control
Your team reviews names, dates, tone and emphasis before the tour is treated as approved interpretation.
Update it later
When a line changes, translations and narration can be regenerated without rebuilding the whole tour.
Visitor friendly
No devices to hand out. Nothing to collect. Nothing to charge overnight.
The QR access point can live on a freestanding sign in the grounds, a railing notice, a ticket, a leaflet or a reception display, so nothing needs to be fixed to protected stone or historic fabric. Visitors use the phone they already know.
The launch path
Hear your own site first.
Before committing to a full route, request a short sample stop based on your location. It is the fastest way to judge voice, accuracy, visitor tone and language quality.
Send the site name
Share your site name, website, approximate annual visitor numbers and whether anyone is normally on site.
Review a sample stop
Hear a short demonstration draft in English plus one relevant visitor language.
Approve the full tour
Move into a bounded launch package with scope, languages and review points agreed upfront.

Questions
Straight answers for busy site teams.
Can visitors use the tour without staff on site?
Visitors can open the tour themselves by scanning a QR code. Your team still needs to approve the stories, agree suitable sign locations and check the visitor route before launch.
What kinds of places is this for?
WayWyser suits heritage sites, gardens, trails, venues and visitor destinations with stories to share. Tell us about your place, route and language needs so we can discuss the scope.
What should we check about mobile coverage?
Check mobile reception or visitor Wi-Fi at the entrance and planned stops before choosing the route. Tell us about weak coverage during scoping so access requirements can be agreed before launch.
Do visitors need to install an app?
No. They scan a QR code and the tour opens in the browser on their own phone.
Can we approve the history before it goes live?
Yes. AI can help create the first draft, but the site team approves the historical content before publication.
Does it work indoors?
Yes. Indoor tours can use tap-through stops, QR codes and clear stop lists where GPS is not reliable.
What do we need to provide?
A site name and any useful research, guide notes, panels, archive links or existing interpretation material. A sample can also start from public information and be marked clearly as a draft.
