The problem

What gets in the way today.

In busy urban environments, members of the public often encounter situations where they need help, guidance, or a way to report a concern. However, locating the right authority or knowing who to contact can be confusing, especially for visitors or those unfamiliar with the local area.

Traditional reporting channels, such as phone lines or apps, require prior knowledge, downloads, or long wait times. As a result, minor safety concerns often go unreported, leaving city authorities with limited real-time visibility of issues happening on the street. This lack of accessible support can reduce public confidence, while city teams struggle to respond quickly to incidents or identify emerging safety patterns.

The solution

How Omnie Vox changes it.

Omnie Vox places a trusted digital safety point directly in the urban environment. Citizens and visitors can instantly speak with the system to report concerns, request assistance, or receive guidance on nearby services in their preferred language. The platform can connect users to local authorities or safety teams when necessary, while also capturing incident reports and interaction data in the Vox Net management platform. This allows city teams to monitor trends, respond more quickly, and deploy resources more effectively.

By combining visibility, accessibility, and intelligent reporting, Omnie Vox strengthens community safety while helping cities build a more responsive and connected public environment.

More applications

Where else Omnie Vox works.

VOX KIT

The street furniture and information boards you already own, as reporting points.

A community safety kit from Omnie Vox fits inside the information totems, bus shelters and safety signage already on the street. Instead of a phone number on a poster, the sign itself becomes a reporting point: press the button, say what is happening, and be heard, in your own language, by an assistant that knows exactly where you are.

No phone, no reading, no screen. Reports and sensitive requests are routed instantly to the right team through Vox Net, and live safety information can be pushed to every connected sign during an incident. A calm, patient voice suits people who would find a phone call hard.

In practice

A council is refreshing the information totems in its night-time economy area. Vox Kit is fitted behind each totem during the works. At 1am a young woman who does not want to make a call presses the button, says quietly that someone is following her, and is told the taxi marshal is forty metres to her left while the safety team is alerted. Earlier the same totem took a report of a broken streetlight.

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.
