Vox-a-Vis turns every journey into a little voyage of discovery. Whether you're in the car or on foot, the app automatically tells you what's worth knowing about the places you pass — cities and towns, landmarks, rivers, famous people, and much more. There's nothing to search for and nothing to type. The app uses GPS to sense where you are and reads the matching story aloud. In the car it plays through CarPlay or Bluetooth; on foot it keeps you company on a walk or a stroll through town. Always hands-free, so your eyes stay where they belong. HOW IT WORKS The app follows your route and finds noteworthy places nearby. The matching story is read to you automatically. You choose which topics interest you. FACTUAL OR NARRATED You decide how the stories sound. Either as straight facts drawn from the source, or — if you like — shaped by artificial intelligence into a flowing, narrated story that's a pleasure to listen to on the road. IN THE CAR AND ON FOOT On your daily commute, on vacation, on a city break, or wandering through the old town — Vox-a-Vis shows you just how much history lies right by the roadside. TOPICS History, Architecture, Nature, Cities & Towns, Industry, Famous People, Religion, Science & Education, Art & Culture, Sports & Stadiums, and Infrastructure & Transport. Unlock the topics that interest you. GETTING STARTED Your home country and the History category are included from the start. You can add more categories and regions at any time. Content is sourced from Wikipedia.
