## What is Hear2GO?

Hear2GO — Your AI-Powered Cultural Guide

Discover the stories hidden in every street. Hear2GO turns your phone into a smart cultural guide, blending AI language models with real-time GPS and map data to deliver rich, location-aware narration about nearby landmarks, neighborhoods, cuisine, architecture, folklore, geology, and more. Whether you’re traveling abroad or rediscovering your city, Hear2GO lets culture speak to you—clearly, contextually, and in the moment.

What Hear2GO does

Recognizes where you are and surfaces nearby points of interest (POIs) worth your time.
Generates vivid, human-like explanations that transform quick stops into meaningful discoveries.
Plays audio automatically as you move through an area, so you can keep your phone in your pocket and just listen.
Adapts to your interests, curating content for history lovers, foodies, architecture fans, students, and casual explorers alike.

Key Features

Smart Location Recognition
  Precise GPS detection and map integration identify nearby attractions, hidden gems, and cultural hotspots.

AI Cultural Narration (Text & Audio)
  Enjoy engaging, well-structured explanations written by advanced language models. Read on screen or listen via text-to-speech for a hands-free experience.

Autoplay Zones & Interest Tags
  Enable Autoplay to trigger narration when you enter a geofenced area. Use Tags (e.g., *History*, *Architecture*, *Cuisine*, *Geology*, *Folklore*) to personalize what gets highlighted first.

Multi-Language Support
  Seamless English/Chinese experience (with more languages planned) so you can learn and share across cultures.

Smart Suggestions
  See quick “nearby highlights” and lightweight walking ideas tailored to your time and preferences.

Clean, Minimal UI
  A distraction-free interface focused on clarity, with fast access to narration, audio controls, and saved places.

Great for

Travelers who prefer flexible, self-guided exploration without rigid tour schedules.
Locals who want deeper connections to their neighborhoods and city culture.
Students & lifelong learners who enjoy contextual learning on the go.

How it works

1. Grant location access to discover nearby places and trigger relevant stories.
2. Pick your interest tags to personalize highlights.
3. Walk, listen, and explore—Autoplay can narrate as you move, or you can tap to read any time.

Privacy & Control

Location access is used to find nearby content and enable Autoplay.
You can turn location off at any time and continue to browse content manually.
Audio is optional; text mode works great when you prefer to read.

Notes

An internet connection is recommended for the best AI-generated content and map results.
Map provider may vary by region to ensure accuracy and performance.
Headphones are recommended for the most immersive audio experience.

Bring depth to every step. With Hear2GO, every corner has a story—and it’s finally easy to hear it.
