Hear places in the language you choose
Standing in front of a monument that only has a plaque in a language you do not read is a small kind of lost. Laqao uses audio instead. Tap any spot on the map, or use your location, then tap Speak, and Laqao tells you about the place: its history, facts and local stories, read aloud. Laqao starts in your device language when it's supported, and in English otherwise. If you would rather hear it in another language, pick one on the Speak sheet before you press Speak. You can also choose a male or female voice and a mood. It works the same way whether you are travelling or exploring your own city. When a story ends, tap Next nearby to keep going. Narrations are written by AI from public information, so they can contain mistakes. Tap Report if one is wrong, and check opening hours and safety information locally.
