Accessible guides for zoos, museums and attractions
Every exhibit, for every visitor.
Ablicon turns your phone into a guide that knows where you are. Walk up to an exhibit and its story appears, audio-described, captioned with ASL, or standard, depending on the accessibility settings your phone already uses.

How it works
-
Download Ablicon
It reads your phone’s accessibility settings and sets itself up: audio description, captions or standard. Change it anytime from the menu.
-
Walk up to an exhibit
A small Bluetooth beacon at each exhibit tells your phone where you are. Nothing to find, scan or type.
-
Get it your way
App open: the exhibit page appears. Phone in your pocket: a vibration and a notification your screen reader can read.
Built for accessibility first
Deaf or hard of hearing
Captions, ASL video and transcripts, plus vibration alerts instead of sound. Works with hearing aids already paired to your phone.
Every visitor
Stories, photos, videos and keeper-talk times at each exhibit, with full functionality on your own earbuds and headphones.
Your own device
No shared handsets to collect, return or clean between guests. No sanitation issues, no lines.
Private by design
No account, no name, no location history. Anonymous usage data only, and you can switch it off anytime.
For zoos, museums and attractions
Give every guest an accessible guide without running a fleet of devices.
- Small, weatherproof beacons that run for years on one battery. No wiring.
- Update content in a web page. Changes are live instantly, with no app update.
- Reports on visitors, popular exhibits, routes and accessibility needs, by day, week, month and year.
- Works alongside your existing audio tours, ASL videos and scripts.
