Professional audio guide production from Basel
Orientation in the ear
Audio guides bring places, exhibitions and experiences to life. They guide visitors through content and backgrounds and convey information in such a way that routes and stations become understandable.
For museums, cultural and tourist facilities
Spoken formats for orientation in exhibitions and rooms
An audio guide is an audio format that conveys information in a structured way and guides the user through content. It is used in museums, in tourism, in cultural institutions and in companies to make topics understandable and accessible.
A good audio guide offers a clear dramaturgy, a comprehensible sequence, a suitable voice and a tone that supports the content. It helps the audience to find their bearings and guides them through the topic without distraction.
OSLO STUDIOS produces audio guides with professional voice recording, careful text structure and appropriate sound design. Sound, voice, music and editing are created in our own studio and are coordinated according to a clear production process.
An audio guide usually includes script development, voiceover recording, editing, mixing and the technical playout for the intended systems.

What is an audio guide?
An audio guide is a curated sequence of audio chapters that can be started via an app, rental device or web player. GPS, QR codes or number plates trigger the appropriate tracks. In contrast to conventional audio tape solutions, a modern audio guide offers studio-quality voice recordings, multilingual versions, barrier-free versions and CMS-supported maintenance so that content can be updated at any time.
How many audio minutes per station are recommended?
60-120 seconds per chapter keep attention high and allow sufficient depth of detail.
What rights do I need to clarify for music and sounds?
You need usage rights (license or buy-out) for each sound source; Oslo Studios will take care of rights clearance and deliver legally compliant masters on request.
Can an audio guide be used without an app?
Yes, via web players, QR codes or stationary devices – even offline.
How is the guide designed to be accessible?
Clear language, comprehensible structure, audio description and compatibility with screen readers ensure accessibility.
Which languages can be produced?
We offer professional voice talents in over 20 languages with local adaptations.
