Keen Guides is changing the way people tour museums, colleges, and public venues. Using cutting edge video, GPS positioning, and the most accessible technologies available, Keen creates downloadable tours in many different languages and several accessibility modalities (such as closed captioning, sign language and cued speech). Visitors can download tours onto their personal media player or use a pre-loaded personal media players at participating cultural venues.
Keen Guides offers a simple solution to making your museum or other cultural venue more accessible. Keen’s tours don’t require special equipment or cumbersome hardware arrangements. Best of all, Keen Guides can be used by more than 98% of visitors with hearing loss, providing a truly accessible product at a much lower cost than a traditional audio tour.
Hear the story of Keen Guides’ founder Catharine McNally, who had a simple problem: she couldn’t take the audio and live tours in museums and public places. So she created a new way of touring — a downloadable, multimedia tour for your iPod, iPhone, or other media player. And Keen Guides was born!”
