The problem

What gets in the way today.

Navigating bustling city centres is often overwhelming. Static signage struggles to keep pace with complex street layouts, language barriers, and dynamic events, resulting in visitor frustration and missed opportunities for local businesses.

Furthermore, a lack of visible support leaves the public feeling vulnerable. Without an immediate way to report concerns or access help, the gap between authorities and the community widens.

More applications

Where else Omnie Vox works.

VOX KIT

The totems, fingerposts and information boards you already own become conversational.

A city centre wayfinding kit from Omnie Vox fits inside the signage estate you have already paid for. The processor, speaker, microphone and button sit behind the panel of an existing totem or information board, so the sign that shows a map today can answer a question tomorrow. No new street furniture, no planning application, no change to the look of the street.

Every retrofitted sign speaks over 80 languages, works without a screen or an app, and gives calm, one-step-at-a-time directions for anyone who finds a busy city overwhelming. It is voice-first, multilingual and accessible by design, on the signs you already have.

In practice

A city-centre estates manager has forty wayfinding totems reaching the end of their graphics cycle. Rather than replace them, the team fits Vox Kit behind each panel during the reprint. By the following month the same totems answer “where is the nearest accessible toilet?” in Polish, guide a visitor with sight loss to the station step by step, and report the most-asked questions by hour in Vox Net.

For every visitor

Multilingual, accessible and neurodiversity-friendly.

Compliance

Support for the standards and duties that shape accessible spaces.

Spoken, multilingual signage is a practical, documentable way to meet accessibility obligations, with Vox Net recording every interaction as evidence.

Legislation

Equality Act 2010

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.

Standard

BS 8300:2018

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.

Public sector

Public Sector Equality Duty

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.

NHS

Accessible Information Standard

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.

Building Regulations

Approved Document M

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.

Web

WCAG 2.2 AA & accessibility regulations

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.

FAQ

City Centres: common questions

Can Vox Kit be fitted to totems and fingerposts we already have?

Yes. The kit is designed for retrofit: the processor and exciter speaker mount behind the existing panel and the button and microphone fit through a small aperture, so the sign keeps its graphics and footprint.

Does it need power on the street?

Vox Kit runs from mains where available, or from its rechargeable battery with Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity where it is not, so signs without a supply can still be retrofitted.

How do we manage forty signs across the city?

All of them from Vox Net. Content, voice, volume and prompts are configured remotely, and every conversation is captured by location and language, so you see where people get lost.
