Speak with History

Give your heritage a voice

The great sweep of History or your own company's memory.

Your visitors scan a QR code and hold a spoken conversation with a character brought to life. On their own phone, in their own language, with nothing to download.

French · English · German — around the clock, no app

The experience

Listen to them.

Three of the voices now in service, exactly as they are. Nothing was re-recorded for this page — no retouching, no editing: these are the very voices your visitor will hear.

Your visitors are not listening to a recording: they ask their questions out loud, and the character answers them.

The voices in this excerpt are speaking French. Every HistoVox character speaks French, English and German natively — the same character, the same voice, answering each visitor in their own language. It is included in every package, never charged as an option.

How it works

Three gestures, one encounter

A visitor, a customer or a member of staff scans a QR code placed on site and starts a real conversation. They ask their questions; the character answers — with its own voice, its own temperament and its own memory.

1 Scan The visitor scans the QR code placed on the monument, the shop window or the sign.
2 Speak They ask their questions out loud, as they would to a real person. Or in writing, if they prefer.
3 Listen The character answers out loud, in their language, in a second and a half.
Try it now

Ask him your questions.

The Archivist is our ambassador. He answers out loud whatever you want to know about HistoVox: how it works, what it costs, what could be done with your site. This is not a recorded demo — it is the system itself answering you.

Who it is for

One system, three uses

Local authorities & heritage

Give a voice to heritage that goes unnoticed. Interpretation available at all hours, in three languages, on a monument, a site or a trail — where until now there was only a plaque nobody reads.

Museums & private sites

Offer a visit that stands apart. Your visitors talk — aloud or in writing — with the figures who belong to your site, and come back to ask more.

Companies

Entrust your memory to a voice: the founder's story, the welcome given to new employees, one-to-one training. Someone available at all hours, who never tires of explaining.

Our standard

The care is in the detail

A voice that holds up

Every character is tuned by ear, sentence by sentence, and validated by a speech and language therapist.

A conversation kept in hand

Safeguards keep the character inside its role and inside its period. It does not step outside them.

A character written with you

You define its temperament, its knowledge, its period. We write it and give it a voice.

Open to everyone

Aloud and in writing, in French, English and German. No app, no account, no installation.

European technology

Artificial intelligence, voices and data: hosted and processed within the European Union.

No visitor data

Your visitors' questions are never recorded. We measure anonymous footfall, and nothing more.

Public funding

For a local authority, most of the cost can be covered by grants

Heritage development and digital interpretation qualify for several French funding schemes, which can be drawn on separately or together depending on the project and the area.

DRAC — regional directorate for cultural affairs DETR — state grant for rural areas Collectivité européenne d'Alsace (Alsace regional authority) Regional nature parks Interreg — cross-border projects

We build the application with you — technical documents, project description, budget and timetable. This is work we know well, and we take it on as part of our public-sector packages.

Rates and eligibility depend on the project, the area and the review of the application. We do not guarantee that funding will be granted, and we undertake never to promise you any.
Who we are

A small team, in Alsace

We design every character ourselves and tune every voice by ear. You deal with one person, from the first meeting to going live — and that person is the one who writes your character.
