Hearonymus in brief
Hearonymus audio guide - foundation and development
Hearonymus was founded in 2012 by Peter and Claudia Grundmann in Vienna.
The goal was to create a simple and affordable way for businesses in culture and tourism to gain all the benefits of audio guides on smartphones. With the possibility of having the entire content produced externally. The Hearonymus standard audio guide for smartphones was born. In many countries, visitors look forward to now enjoy the same look and feel of the guides in numerous places wherever they are.
Another goal was to make the content of audio guides available to the general public outside of opening hours. Download a guide to your smartphone at home, listen, become curious, go there. In this way audio guides promote your offering.
The idea of a platform for audio guides for smartphones has sparked great interest in the culture and tourism industries right from the start. The numbers from the foundation to the present day show that the concept is well received:

Services
Hearonymus has developed a building block system for every need. The system consists of a basic guide and numerous additional options. Hearonymus can create the entire guide with all content for you. This is the easiest way to get an audio guide.
However, you are also welcome to provide individual modules yourself. We can work with your texts and translations. If you already have finished audio files, we take them over and create the audio guide from them. You only pay for the building blocks you need. Without any running costs.
A number of additional options are available to supplement and expand the basic guide. These include various options in the areas of “Sound”, “Image”, “Video” or “Accessibility”.
Basic building blocks
Additional options
Arts and culture
Hearonymus is the ideal solution for museums, exhibitions and galleries. The Hearonymus audio guide is equally suitable for permanent exhibitions and special exhibitions. Hearonymus is also an inexpensive option for an audio guide for small museums.
Advantages
The purchase of devices is completely eliminated because visitors use their own smartphones. This eliminates the hassle and cost of issuing and collecting, cleaning and the theft protection of equipment. Since the audio guides work 100% offline, WiFi is not required throughout the house. If anything, a hotspot in the entrance area is enough.
Tourism
For the presentation of the highlights of an entire region, city tours, boat trips, train rides or hiking trails: Hearonymus is the perfect solution, as it is for churches, country houses, castles, pilgrimage routes and cellar tours. Getting onto your customers’ smartphone has never been easier.
Advantages
An overview guide for an entire tourism region with the possibility to go into depth at individual stations is a popular classic. Guests download the guide to their smartphone at home and listen to it. This arouses interest and they want to see the sights “live”.
Contact and locations
Hearonymus is an Austrian company based in Vienna and with an office in Berlin. Our colleagues are on the road in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Italy and the Czech Republic and look forward to hearing from you.
