How to Use the Audio Guide

 News     |     April 13, 2026

Recently, I talked with an operations director of an overseas museum. He said that the museum used to rely entirely on manual guided tours. During peak seasons, there were not enough guides, so visitors could only take a cursory look; during off-peak seasons, manpower was idle and costs stayed high. Moreover, the museum only provided guided tours in the local language and English, so many foreign visitors had a greatly reduced visiting experience due to language barriers. Later, after switching to the automatic induction audio guide, all these problems were perfectly solved. Visitors can explore the exhibition freely and listen to explanations whenever they want, and the museum also saves a lot of labor costs.
 

Many customers from overseas scenic spots, museums and exhibition halls want to know how to use the audio guide, whether it is easy to operate, and which scenarios it fits. As an analyst in the audio guide industry, combined with the YINGMI M7 automatic induction audio guide with 19 years of industry experience, I will explain the usage methods, applicable scenarios and core advantages in plain language to help you get started quickly and pick the right equipment.

I. Core Pain Points of Traditional Guided Tours


Whether it is an overseas scenic spot, museum or corporate exhibition hall, the traditional guided tour model has three fatal problems that directly hit operational efficiency and visitor experience:

High labor costs & difficult management


Manual guided tours need recruitment, training and scheduling. Multilingual guides are especially hard to hire and costly. Cross-border venues can hardly cover minor language needs, with staff shortages in peak seasons and resource waste in off-peak seasons.

Limited visitor experience & low freedom


Group tours only follow fixed routes and do not allow free exploration; public broadcast explanations are noisy and chaotic, with interference between different zones, greatly weakening the immersive experience.

Poor equipment & function adaptability


Ordinary audio guides need manual button pressing or QR code scanning to trigger, which is complicated to operate; some devices have unstable signals, short battery life and poor sound quality, and are prone to sound crosstalk and missed explanations.

These pain points are exactly what the automatic induction audio guide is designed to solve. As a mature automatic induction product, the YINGMI M7 can meet all these needs in a one-stop way.
