When the guide starts talking
You come near a place worth hearing and the story starts, with no typing, no stopping the car and no looking at the screen.
Turning the guide on is the last thing you do with the phone in your hand. From there it can stay in your pocket. The narration follows your journey. It starts on its own when you come near a place worth hearing. The trip gets a narrator.
What makes a story start
Your arrival, and nothing else. You do not type the name of the place, you do not press a button at the right moment, and you do not need to know in advance what is coming up the road.
It works on foot, by car or by bike. And it works above all for the place you did not know was there, which is usually the best part of the trip.
Why it speaks on its own
Whoever is driving cannot be looking at a screen. That was the first decision of the product.
A guide that wants your eyes on the phone ends up unused in the car. And a guide you have to feed addresses to before leaving is one more chore.
How much already has a voice
The catalogue is past 16 thousand audio guides, with a narrated guide in 14 countries. The map is bigger: there are more than 2 million mapped points, with Tuggi present in 48 countries.
Opening the map, seeing the routes and reading the name and the description of any point costs nothing. The narration that starts on its own is what your hours of guide turn on.
What the screen shows while it talks
The name of the place and its description stay on screen while it speaks, for when you feel like looking. You can hear a whole story without touching the phone.
The full text of the narration sits behind the CC button on the card, which starts off and turns on with one tap. It opens the story at once, and you are the one who scrolls, at your own pace.
