Pick a mode for what's in front of you: scenery, artwork, meals, or signs. Take a photo. SightEcho explains it in plain language and reads it aloud in the one you speak.
Scenery mode
When you see a plaza, cathedral, bridge, viewpoint, or street scene, take a photo. SightEcho explains what the place is, why it matters, and what to notice.
Artwork mode
In a museum, gallery, church, or public square, SightEcho can explain the artwork's context, artist, period, and details worth noticing.
“This work uses contrast in light and color to show the mood of the city. If you look closely, the direction of the brushwork…”
Meal mode
Take a photo of local food or a menu. SightEcho helps you understand the dish name, ingredients, flavor, and how it is usually eaten.
Sign mode
Point SightEcho at text you can't read. It translates the words, then tells you what actually matters for the situation you're in.
When something goes wrong
Trouble on the road is stressful in a place you don't know. Pick what's happening, and SightEcho walks you through what to do next. Clearly, and free.
Hear it
Every explanation can be read on screen or played as natural, spoken audio. Put the phone in your pocket and keep walking. The narration keeps going.
“This is the Sagrada Família, Gaudí's unfinished basilica begun in 1882. The towers you're looking at represent…”
Tuned to you
Set how far you want to go, once. Every explanation then arrives at the right length, from a quick line on the street to a full study inside a museum.
A clear, concise explanation of what you're seeing. Perfect while you're on the move.
History, context, and the details a great museum guide would add for the full story.
Around you
SightEcho uses where you are to suggest real places around you, with walking times, so you know what's actually reachable on foot.
From trip to travelogue
SightEcho organizes the places you captured into trips. When a trip ends, it writes the whole journey up as a travel story, from your own photos, in the style you choose.
“Day 2 — Barcelona. The morning began in the Gothic Quarter, where narrow lanes opened onto…”
