Is voicemap.me Legit?

This is a good app. It mostly worked very well, but our party had a few suggestions. We used audio tours twice in Quebec City. Both were interesting. The issues we had were minor but…*The starting point was pictured but we couldn’t find the directions or address (an email to Voicemap team got us a prompt answer.)*The street names are in French and sometimes we didn’t fully understand which street was being named. By the time we figured it out, we had missed some of the narration, and we couldn’t figure out how to back up. If it was easy to rewind, that would be helpful.* We wished there was silence between all stops on the tour. We found it difficult to navigate and listen at the same time.Overall, this app and tours are very reasonably priced and have the advantage of using it whenever we wanted, stopping for lunch, etc. and then resuming. We would use it again, but we would keep our phones in hand and pause frequently. I guess there’s a slight learning curve..at least for us!

I would definitely say that I needed a lot of hand holding, patience and knowledge which Alicia demonstrated at every step of the way! I cannot say thank you enough! VoiceMap was so user-friendly and clear from a creator's standpoint and doing the practice run and listening to the tour myself. I loved the extra touches and tips that spell professionalism and thoroughness. Alicia's team were equally easy to work with, adding the finishing touches. This was a smooth process and a rewarding end product. Much appreciation!

Great app. You can do a tour at your own pace.

It took me a while to figure out how to put together my audio tour (Ghent, Belgium). Like assembling an Ikea wardrobe, first time is tricky, then you get the idea. But fortunately Alicia was always on hand to guide me patiently through the process and send me links to helpful tutorials. The fun bit was assembling a makeshift recording studio out of a step ladder and duvets - it worked a treat. And then Keith added a fantastic soundtrack at the end to bring the whole tour to life. I'd definitely recommend VoiceMap to anyone with a story to tell about a place they love.

I have recorded several tours for Voicemap. The app is excellent and enables you to create the tour easily with full function. Alicia and the team who run the system are so helpful and encouraging and I recommend anyonr who wants to produce an audio tour to use them

Making my Madrid river tour was the first time working with this kind of technology, the tutorials were super useful and explained things clearly. You also have a real person to talk to and ask any questions which is invaluable. Once you've got your head around the mapping technology, it's fairly easy to create the tour, the step by step process is relatively idiot proof! If you have a tour in mind, or even a pre-written one, it's a great way to make some passive income.

Great to work with Voice Map in creating an audio walking tour for the Dad's Army Museum. A very professional organisation and great support from my editor at Voice Map. Delighted with the final results.

I've been working with VoiceMap for years now and I'm thrilled about their process. Creating and selling online audio tours on VoiceMap is a blast. They help out with the editing, guide you from ideation to publication, and keep everything running smoothly, so I don't need to worry about anything and make more time to delivering awesome guided tours in Tel Aviv, Israel.

I have nothing but praise for the Voicemap team. The initial tour creation was done with many tips and suggestions from the wonderful editor, Alicia. Gary had a bit of work on his hands getting my voice sounding nice and clear too. Since the setup, I have had to make amendments for reasons such as road closures, new venues, etc and on each occasion they are so quick to update the tour. My customers are always happy with the tech, and i myself think it's a user friendly app for customers and a fabulous idea.

I found the tour editing straightforward to handle and had good support from the in-house team. Since launch about nine months ago, my audio tour has provided a small but welcome passive income to supplement my other freelance work. Royalty payments have been clear and paid promptly.

,Many thanks to both of you.I believe I have achieved a good story thanks to Alicia and Gary's language and technical support.[ [ [ I'm rewarded by knowing I have left here significant knowledge of present day Stockholm, Sweden and a bit of our history to our current and future generations. ] ] ]Thanks for being there all the time (available) It was an honor to work with you.

I have created audio guides with VoiceMap. A fantastic experience from start to finish with excellent editorial support. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to produce an audio guide for anywhere in the world! Sales are great and commission payments prompt each month available by bank transfer and PayPal as well! Great job VoiceMap!

Voicemap helped me to achieve the goal of publishing my own tour. They helped me to perform and then supervised the whole process making me feel sure about the final product's quality. I also had the opportunity to listen to other tours and compare/improve my own tour.

I published my tours on VoiceMap and I loved working with the VoiceMap team on their production. I worked with Gary who responds as fast as lightning, but everyone is very helpful and supportive. I have been a bit of a perfectionist and produced loads of extra editing for Gary, who was very accommodating, bless him. I love the concept of the audio tours and hope we go far together!

We had a few hours in Venice , we ve been there before and had done all the big tourist sites but didn’t want to waste this time wandering aimlessly and didn’t think we d have the time to go far from st marks . This tour was ideal . Eria pointed out things we would have never noticed and knew nothing about. The length of the tour was prefect , giving us time for lunch and a bit of shopping before returning to our ship. Please Eria , do some more tours , off the beaten track , my favourite parts of Venice , so I d have an excuse to go back

The voicemap team and Alicia in particular were helpful, professional, patient, supportive and kind. The creative process was simple and at any point I could ask for help and receive an immediate answer. The part I enjoyed the most was testing the tour and using the voicemap app. I can't wait to go on holiday myself and listen to a tour on it!

I developed a tour for VoiceMap a few years ago and found their guidance and editing support to be very helpful in publishing a polished product. They made the sound quality so much better and made sure that the recordings trigger in the right places. They have quickly and efficiently handled updates to my tour and royalty payments have been made without fuss.

It is difficult to put in words how fundamental Alicia's and Gary's work has been.. they helped me with patience, enthusiasm and resilience throughout the process.My tour would not be out there without their commitment. I'll work with them again and again and again. Highly recommended

As someone who is seeking to create non-linear tours with upwards of a thousand locations, I think it is safe to assume that I represent the outer limit of this platform’s consumer base. I started making GPS Audio tours on the Detour platform years ago, but when they went defunct, I was left searching for a replacement. After years of searching and several disappointments, I have landed on this platform and still use it to this day.The best piece of advice I could give anyone looking to use these tools is to get used to resetting them: almost every glitch I have yet encountered can be addressed simply by refreshing the voice maps webpage. Stuck on a loading screen? Refresh the page. Map frozen after moving a location? Refresh the page. Location not responding to being clicked on? Refresh the page. Refreshing the page is so integral to the process that some features, such as cloning locations, appear to use it by default, and if anything, this is its biggest weakness. The need to constantly reorient yourself means that certain otherwise simple tasks (such as uploading audio to over 100 locations) can become arduous when you must keep relocating what you were just working on.In addition, navigation and organization can be very difficult because there are next to no tools to compartmentalize your tours or locations. The option to organize tours into folders or bins or even to delete them would be a godsend when dealing with multiple drafts of the same tour, and when you are dealing with tours of hundreds of locations, finding a particular location can become frustrating. The information and tools you have at your disposal are limited by which view you are working in, and you are unable to shrink the browser window to a width lower than 1000 pixels (which is particularly problematic for me as I like to reference notes while working on my tours). These problems are further compounded by the fact that, when a tour has too many locations, Voicemap slows down to the point of being borderline unusable, making it impossible to work on larger tours. Luckily, the Voicemap team is extremely responsive and highly ingenuitive. Even when they don’t have a direct solution, they always manage to find some creative, out of the box way of dealing with my problems, such as when they rigged up a method to combine multiple smaller tours into one larger one as a way of bypassing the slowdown I was experiencing.I could continue complaining, but the truth is that I would just be nitpicking, and these tools were clearly not designed for the scale I’m working at anyway, so if anything I’m impressed they even work. All you really need to know is this; I’ve spent a long time searching for a platform with which to experiment on, and this is the first one that’s stuck because for all its quirks, it is remarkably consistent in its quirkiness. I won’t say it’s perfect, but if you are like me and looking to innovate with GPS Audio Content, I genuinely could not point you to a more solid platform.

VoiceMap have helped me share my home town with many more people from all around the world. I couldn't have asked for more support or expert advice. I'd like to pay particular thanks to Alicia for her insight and excellent help bringing my tours to life. Thank you!
