Voice-first guidance that bypasses the visual and cognitive barriers static signs create. Spoken, screen-free, in 80+ languages.
Accessible wayfinding starts with a simple question: who can’t use the sign you already have? Printed and digital signage assumes the visitor can see it, read it, understand the language it is written in, interpret the symbols and hold a route in their head. For a large share of the public, at least one of those assumptions fails.
Visually impaired visitors cannot read it at all. Visitors whose first language is not English get, at best, two or three translated lines. Dyslexic and low-literacy visitors work hard to decode it. Elderly visitors, and anyone who is anxious, tired or in a hurry, struggle to hold multi-step directions. The usual fallback is to ask a member of staff, which costs staff time and, for many people, carries a social cost of its own.
Accessible signage should not mean a second, separate system. It should mean the sign you already have works for everyone.

A voice-first web app that launches instantly on any phone, on any sign, poster or product. No hardware, no download.
Try Vox App freeOmnie Vox adds a spoken layer to any sign. A visitor presses the button (or scans a code with Vox App), asks a question in their own words and hears a clear answer in the same language. There is no screen to read, no menu to navigate and nothing to install.
Spoken and screen-free — the answer is audio, so sight and reading ability are not required. On demand — the sign only speaks when asked, so it is calm and predictable rather than a source of noise. In any language — over 80 languages are detected automatically; see our page on multilingual wayfinding. One step at a time — directions can be delivered step by step and repeated, which is central to neurodiversity-friendly wayfinding.
Because the voice is tone aware, the assistant recognises stress or confusion and responds with shorter, plainer guidance. It is available 24/7, and because it is connected to real-time data through AI Workflows in Vox Net, the answer reflects what is actually happening right now.
One spoken layer, many needs met.
No reading, no looking. Find the button, press, ask and listen.
Calm, literal, step-by-step guidance with no social pressure to ask a stranger. Autism, ADHD, dyslexia and sensory sensitivities all benefit.

The reading barrier disappears entirely. Directions are heard, not decoded.
Busy hands, tired eyes, a train to catch. Voice is faster and lighter than a map.
Spoken, multilingual signage is a practical, documentable way to meet accessibility obligations, with Vox Net recording every interaction as evidence.
Requires service providers to make reasonable adjustments, in advance, so disabled people are not substantially disadvantaged. Voice-first signage is a documentable adjustment for visually impaired, dyslexic, neurodivergent and non-English-speaking visitors.
The British Standard for accessible built environments asks for wayfinding information in more than one format, including audible. Spoken signage complements the tactile, Braille and high-contrast signs the standard already recommends.
Section 149 of the Equality Act requires the NHS, universities, councils and transport authorities to actively advance equality and evidence it. Vox Net analytics give equality impact assessments and annual reports a measurable intervention to cite.
Mandatory for NHS and adult social care providers in England (DCB 1605), and monitored by the CQC. Requires information in formats people can understand, including audible and other-language formats. Omnie Vox meets this at scale, with an audit trail.
Part M of the Building Regulations requires reasonable provision for everyone to access and use a building, citing BS 8300 as its technical reference. Specifying Omnie Vox at design stage puts audible wayfinding in the inclusive-design package before sign-off.
Vox App and the Vox Net control panel are keyboard operable, screen-reader friendly and high contrast, meeting the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 and ready for the European Accessibility Act.
A patient with low vision arrives for a clinic appointment at a large hospital. The building directory is a wall of small text. At the entrance, a Vox Post answers instead: “Where is the eye clinic?” — “Take the lift on your left to level two, turn right, and it is the third door.” The patient asks for it again, and hears it again. The same post answers a Polish-speaking visitor in Polish, and gives an anxious first-time visitor one step at a time. Reception staff spend less time repeating directions, and the hospital has a record of what people ask most. See how this plays out across hospitals and city centres.
