About

Echosphere Audio

Features
Read full description

Echosphere lets tour guides speak to their whole group live, straight to each guest’s own phone. No headsets, no shared earpieces. Each group uses a dedicated Echosphere router. Guests connect to it once by scanning a QR code, and their phone reconnects automatically on later tours. No account or setup needed. Once connected, guests tap Join the Tour and hear their guide in real time. Guides sign in with a PIN and start broadcasting with a single tap. Please note: Echosphere carries only the guide’s live voice. It does not provide internet access. It works only with Echosphere routers. Whether it’s a walking tour, a museum visit or a day trip, Echosphere keeps your group connected to your voice.
