Audio can be produced using whatever tools you like and we accept most audio file formats. If you are looking for recording software we recommend Audacity, a great free cross-platform (Mac, PC, Linux) audio recording and editing program. See our instructions for installing and using Audacity.

We look forward to seeing (and hearing) all the places you have to share!

HearPlanet has opened its platform to businesses and individuals with something to say about places.

We provide an easy way to reach hundreds of thousands of HearPlanet users. Plus, each listing can contain action buttons for users to 'Call Now', 'Email', and visit your 'Website'. You can even promote special 'Offers' using coupons.

Content Partners can simply add and maintain locations using this site, and we have an XML schema for large scale ingestion. (We can also receive content via API.)

To get started, just create an account by clicking the 'Join Us' link at the top of the page, or Click Here.

Once logged in, click "Add a New Place" from your account page. Your information will become available to over 600,000 registered iPhone and Android users (with additional users and distribution partners signing on all the time). Audio for each listing is preferred, and if you can't provide a recording our professional voice artists are happy to help (or just use our text-to-speech system).

For partners with significant content we'll create a unique channel within HearPlanet that you can administer, allowing instant content publishing and content moderation within your organization. A unique channel for your content lets us customize features and layout, and provide fine grained control over distribution.

We also provide additional services to our Content Partners, such as custom branded mobile applications, and widgets that bring the HearPlanet experience to your web pages. Just Contact Us if you are interested in any additional services.

We make it easy for developers and distribution partners to deliver Location Enabled Audio Services to their audience.

HearPlanet content is available for redistribution (much of it for free), and we encourage distribution partnerships that mash up our audio streams with their applications in new and interesting ways, and for diverse locations and audiences.

We also welcome developers and publishers to host their content on our service and take advantage of our powerful delivery tools for their applications. We provide the added opportunity of delivering new audiences and distribution channels for those interested, even providing new sources of revenue for repurposed assets.

If you'd like to add our content to your site or application, or discuss other partnership opportunities, just contact us to request an API key and more information.
