Ditch Physical Devices. Easy QR Code Audio Tours for self-guided museum visits.





A Nubart audioguide card to go


A truly innovative audio guide system


Boost visitor engagement and satisfaction with Nubart's innovative audio guide web-app for self-guided tours.

No need for expensive apps or devices - visitors simply scan a QR code to access your museum's audio tour directly from their smartphone.

An attractive branded card with a unique, non-transferable QR code provides visitors with access to the audio tour's rich multimedia content directly on their smartphones. Because the printed code on the card is non-transferable, your audio guides have commercial value and can be profitable for your venue.

Our audio guide apps are accessible.

Museums gain great insight through visitor usage data and satisfaction survey.

Why Nubart?



Because audio guide devices require complex logistics and generate electronic waste.


And because audio tour apps are hard to monetise and only about 2% of visitors download them.




As simple as it gets

Why an audio guide device when everyone has a smartphone?


Easy to use

Visitors only need to scan the QR code to access content. Our innovative scrolling interface ensures easy navigation, even for the digitally inexperienced.

Monetizable

Unlike apps, Nubart-cards can be sold, as they are non-transferable. Nubart can generate revenue for your museum!

Suitable for sponsorship

Unlike devices or apps, sponsors’ logos can be featured on the printed cards, offering valuable partnership opportunities.

Nubart Audio Guide

Tool for docent-guided tours

Optionally, add a module for a digital group guiding system, eliminating the need for expensive radio guides.

High take-up rate (TUR)

Our cards boast a TUR of 10-20% when sold separately and 45-85% when included with admission.

Offline mode

Poor connectivity? Nubart's audio guides offer an innovative offline mode. After scanning the QR code in a connected area, the complete audio guide remains accessible even offline.

Eco-friendly

Unlike devices, Nubart's cards produce no electronic waste. They are printed on FSC-certified cardboard with CO2 compensation.

Just audio, or a complete multimedia guide?



Videos, sliders, modular structure, offline mode, downloadable files, remote control of the audio guide, option to upload files or to leave voice messages...

All this and more can be integrated into a Nubart audio guide



Monetise your audio tour cards

How do we make our audio guide cards non-transferable?

An audio guide is an important additional service offered by your museum. However, only 15-30% of your visitors will want to use it. The production of an audio tour is expensive, so you might want to try to get some of that cost back. Or you might see your audio guides as a revenue stream for your institution.

If you make the same QR code available to everyone, you won't be able to monetize the audio guide because those links are public and can be shared.

At Nubart, we've patented a system called Lightweight Web Access Control. It lets us recognize the user's device anonymously. The legitimate owner of the audio guide card can access the content again whenever they want, but they can't share it with others. This makes your content more valuable, whether you decide to sell the cards separately or include them in the admission fee.

Although the QR-codes on Nubart's cards are non-transferable, they can be reused by their rightful owners at any time. This is important because being able to keep the card and reuse the audio guide is a big selling point for visitors and increases the take-up rate.

If you wish to waive the cards, we can provide the links or QRs online through our API. This way you can integrate them into your ticketing system.

How does it work?

Our QR-codes are non-transferable...

Lightweight Web Access Control by Nubart - patented

  • Non-transferable: The first device can access the audio guide directly by scanning the QR code.
    The QR code is unique and cannot be shared publicly.
    Most visitors do not go any further.

...but reusable

Lightweight Web Access Control by Nubart - patented

  • Reusable: Visitors who wish to access the content again from a second device will require an access link via email. Once the link has been clicked, the second device will then inherit the access rights. The link can’t be shared.
  • Visitors can still access the content as often as needed from any other device. The access link will always be sent to the previously provided email address. This email address cannot be changed.

What people say about Nubart's audio guides

User reviews

Palazzo Pepoli

Bologna, Italy

Wouldn’t be able to do the exhibition without the audio guide! Thankful for the other language guides so I could understand the history as a non Italian.

Albertina

Vienna, Austria

Exhibition Roy Lichtenstein

The format of the audio guide is ideal: mobile phone, own headphones, simple user guidance. Very well done, please use it for all exhibitions! My compliments!

Pravets

Bulgaria

Thanks for the great app! My family listened to the tapes again in the car while we were traveling - very interesting and well presented information.

National Museum of Slovenia

Ljublana, Slovenia

I really like that the audio tour is complementary and available through my own audio device. The inclusion of the visuals and the audio description is also very helpful. Lastly, I like that the descriptions are broken up into different sections based on topic. Everything seems very well thought out.

URMU

Blaubeuren, Germany

The audio guide is just great. Never before has a guide made me so enthusiastic and laugh so much. Really great. Also the interactive possibilities (for children) are great.

Danish Castle Center

Vordingbord, Denmark

I saw the exhibition at Vordingborg Borgcenter one month ago, and have only now heard the podcast. Which could be scanned onto the card I brought home. Super exciting, thank you very much.

Geolocation features in Nubart's audio guides

Need to show your visitors the way?

Interactive maps with visitors' locations, geo-scrolling, overlay for indoors...


Our geolocation package covers virtually all of your visitors' navigation needs.

Your visitors can open an interactive map with all points of interest. The map shows the visitor's location.

Each geolocated point of interest has a "show me on the map" button.

Outdoors, our geolocated audio tracks light up and automatically scroll to the top of the mobile screen when visitors approach a particular point. On Android, this process is enhanced by a slight vibration of the cell phone.

We can incorporate an overlay with the floor plan of your venue to facilitate indoor navigation.

Nubart's audio tours are a tool for researching museum audiences

Would you like to know your visitors better?



Collect visitor data without being invasive


Evaluation and audience research are central to the success of a museum. Nubart cards are not only an innovative audio guide that provides a multilingual self-guided tour to your audience, but also an ideal data collector. Nubart collects usage and behavioral data from your visitors' smartphones anonymously, without ever violating their privacy.

As a Nubart customer you'll have a password-protected access to your usage reports. Included in these reports, among others:

  • Home country of the visitor
  • Visitor’s native language
  • Visitors per day
  • Visitors by time-of-day
  • Duration of the visit
  • Ranking of most-listened-to tracks
  See Nubart's statistics dashboard in action

Nubart has an integrated feedback form for visitor research

Let your visitors tell you what they think

Opinion poll directly in the audio guide


Our free data reports collect a great deal of anonymous information about your visitors and their behavior. Certain important information cannot be retrieved automatically, but you can ask your visitors to provide it to you.

That's why after the last track of every audio guide, the visitor can interact with your museum through a short, 5-question survey. Our two standard questions are:

  • an overall rating of the exhibition on a scale of 1 to 5
  • a text field for comments on the exhibition or on the audio guide

Optionally, visitors who rate the visit highly are invited to rate your venue on Google.

Nubart's customers can receive visitor comments in real-time by email.

Your museum can select three additional questions from a list of options, such as age and gender, as long as visitors choose to share this info with you. Thanks to our unique code system, the visitor can only answer the questionnaire once, ensuring the quality of the data. Incomplete answers are also captured.

Do you need content production for your audio guide?



No problem. You will be assigned a production manager who will organize everything for you. We have a wide selection of script writers, translators and voice over artists.

Low budget? We also have amazingly natural AI-voices.
