Artiou uses on-device capture, recognition, and narration in Chinese, English, or French so you can focus on the art—not the wall text.
Product & brand facts
Artiou (Chinese brand name: 艺游, pronounced Yìyóu) is a mobile app for museum and gallery visits. You photograph or upload an artwork image; the app uses AI to recognize the exhibit and generate narration you can listen to in Chinese, English, or French. It supports favorites/collection and optional sign-in for sync (see in-app copy for details).

Whether you are touring a national museum in an afternoon or slowing down in a contemporary art gallery, Artiou works as a practical museum audio guide: use your phone for exhibit recognition, then listen to narration as you move through the halls—with Chinese, English, and French support so you spend less time on QR codes and more time with the work. After you leave, revisit saved pieces in the app and keep the exhibition with you.
