What happens when someone scans an audio QR code?

A page opens on their phone and the audio starts. If the phone blocks autoplay, they tap Play. The text shows below the player.

Can I use my own recording?

Yes. Upload an mp3, m4a, ogg or wav file of up to 5 minutes. The text of the recording is written out for you, and you can fix any word.

Can visitors listen in their own language?

Yes. Add a language and the text is translated and spoken in it. Visitors hear the language their phone uses, or pick another one.

Can I change the audio after I print the code?

Yes. The printed code points to a page you control. Change the text or upload a new file, and every new scan plays the new audio.

Is the audio QR code free?

Yes. Create an audio QR code without an account and it lasts 7 days. Sign up for a free account to keep it for good.
