Read

More than 140 of the world's great books, retold in full for the reader in front of you.

📚

The classics library

From the Panchatantra and the Odyssey to Austen, Dickens, Tolstoy and Carroll, all in the public domain and all retold in full. Newer books still in copyright receive a ten minute summary and study guide.

👶

Retold for every age

Ages 3 to 7 get a warm, simple story in large print. Ages 8 to 14 get an adventure for young readers. Adults keep the full depth of the original.

⏱️

Four lengths

10, 30, 60 or 90 minutes, each a complete story from beginning to end, written while you watch, usually in under a minute.

📖

A real book on the screen

Pages that turn, two facing pages on a computer and one on a phone. Your place and your bookmarks follow you on every device.

🎨

Painted pictures

A careful description of each character is written first, so they look the same on every page. The cover is painted first and guides every picture, each from a different part of the story.

📥

Key ideas and downloads

Five key ideas from every book, and a beautifully set book to download and keep, with its cover and pictures.

Listen

🎧

Listen to the book

A natural reader reads each page aloud and turns the pages by itself. Choose the reader and the speed.

✨

Read along

Each sentence lights up as it is read. Tap a sentence to hear it again, or a single word, more slowly if you wish. Made for children learning to read and anyone learning English.

🌙

Soft music for bedtime

A lullaby, a night breeze, or rain and piano, kept low beneath the voice so that every word stays clear.

In your own voice, for the children you love

However far away you are, your voice can read them to sleep. Replace the narrator with your own reading, and add a greeting and a goodnight for each child.

  1. Read the whole book in one go. Press Record my reading. The story appears as one large script that follows you as you read. Pause wherever you wish, with soft music playing for you if you like.
  2. Nothing is lost. Your reading is kept safe every few seconds, even if the connection drops or the page closes.
  3. The pages turn as you read. When you finish, BookScribe matches your voice to the text, word by word, and sets every page. From then on the book is heard in your voice.
  4. Polish it. Play any page, move a page turn a little, record a single page again, add music, and download your reading as an MP3 to keep for ever.
  5. Make it personal. A personal edition for each child, with a greeting at the start and a goodnight at the end, in your voice or the narrator's.
  6. Send one private link. It opens on any phone, tablet or computer without an account, remembers where the child stopped, and stops working whenever you say.
The greeting, after the cover
“Hello Maya, this is Grandpa. Tonight I am reading you Alice in Wonderland, all the way from far away. Snuggle up, and let us follow the White Rabbit together.”
The story, in Grandpa's own voice
Read once, in one go, with a soft lullaby underneath. The pages turn by themselves as he reads, with the pictures on their own pages.
The goodnight, before The End
“Sleep well, Maya. Grandpa loves you, and we will read another story together very soon.”

Questions

Which books can BookScribe retell in full?

Books in the public domain, which means those first published before 1929, and the classics in the BookScribe library. A book still in copyright receives a ten minute summary and study guide instead, without pictures.

Who hears my recordings?

Only you, and the people you send a private link to. You can stop a link at any time, and your recordings are never used for anything else.

Does the child need an account?

No. A private link opens the book on any phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to install.

How are the pictures painted?

BookScribe writes a careful description of each character, paints the cover first, then paints each picture from a different part of the story with the cover as its guide, so the characters look the same throughout. It usually takes about two minutes, and you can keep reading while it works.

How do I cancel?

Cancel at any time from your account. You keep your plan until the end of the period you have paid for, and your library stays yours.
