inConnect Guide

inConnect is a tour radio you never have to carry, hand out or collect. You speak into your own phone. Your group hears you in theirs — through the earphones they already have. They listen in the free inConnect app: they scan your QR code, the app opens straight into your tour, and they hear you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the app and tap “Go live”. 2. Show the group the QR code, or send the link into the tour chat. 3. Guests scan it with the free inConnect app and hear you within a couple of seconds. You can put the phone in your pocket — the broadcast keeps running. WHAT THE GUIDE SEES • How many people can hear you right now — the counter updates live. • An indicator that answers “can they actually hear me?”, not “is there internet?”. • A warning when the sound stops reaching the group — before the group notices. • A map of the group: who is next to you and who fell behind. • A history of the tours you have run. WHY THIS INSTEAD OF RECEIVERS A set of radio receivers has to be booked ahead, picked up, handed out, collected and not lost. Every lost receiver is a separate bill. inConnect needs no booking the night before: it works with the equipment you and your group are already carrying. WHO IT IS FOR City guides, tour desks, museums, corporate and school groups — anywhere one person needs to be heard by a few dozen. HONEST ABOUT THE REQUIREMENTS You need the internet, and so do your listeners. In underpasses and deep cellars there will be no signal — neither for us nor for a radio guide on the same frequency.
