An audio guide is a portable device or application that provides spoken information about a specific location, artwork, or exhibit. Often used in museums, galleries, and historical sites, audio guides help visitors learn more about what they are seeing without the need for a live tour guide. Users can listen to pre-recorded commentary at their own pace, enhancing their experience. Typically, audio guides are available in multiple languages and can be rented on-site or downloaded to personal devices. They may include features like maps, images, and additional content related to the exhibits or landmarks being visited, making them a valuable tool for education and exploration.
