DearlyStory
Your voice, your own stories
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Record 15 seconds and any story can be read in your voice. Write new stories with AI or turn your books into audio. Your first three stories are on us.
DearlyStory reads stories in a voice you love, including your own.
Record about 15 seconds, or import a recording, and DearlyStory creates a voice from it. From then on, any story or book can be read aloud in that voice. Creating a voice is free.
WRITE A STORY IN SECONDS
• Type an idea, or pick a story type (fantasy, adventure, space, sci-fi, cyberpunk, poetry, mystery, sleep or heartwarming) and get a ready-made idea for a child or an adult. Tap "Try another" for more.
• AI writes an original story of 3, 5 or 8 minutes. Edit it, or rewrite it up to three times. Writing is free.
• Every story gets its own painted cover.
TURN YOUR BOOKS INTO AUDIO
• Import photos of pages, a PDF or an EPUB, or paste text. Text recognition happens on your device.
• Books are split into parts of up to 8 minutes without cutting a poem or a chapter in half.
• Select the parts you want and listen straight through.
LISTEN YOUR WAY
• Read along: the sentence being read is softly highlighted. Scroll to any line and tap to start there.
• Playlists that play in order, repeat all or repeat one. Drag to reorder.
• Sleep timer, speed from 0.8x to 1.25x, AirPlay and lock-screen controls.
• Four built-in voices if you would rather not record one.
• Listen in English, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, French, Japanese and Korean.
• Export audio to share. Exported files start with a short spoken note that the voice is AI-generated.
FAIR PRICING
• New accounts get 3 stories free. One story is up to 8 minutes of audio: a story you write, or one part of a book.
• Story packs never expire. Monthly subscriptions add 20 or 50 stories every month and can be canceled anytime.
• Listening again is always free. If a narration does not finish on our side, the story goes back to your balance.
A NOTE ON VOICES
Only record or import voices you have the right to use, and never use a voice to impersonate or mislead anyone. Account holders must be 18 or older; stories can still be made for children.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• A voice can now have a recording in each language you listen in. A voice sounds most like you in the language it was recorded in, so tap a voice to add English, Mandarin or another language.
• Before a story is read, you'll see a note when the voice has no recording in that language, with a shortcut to record one.
• Choose which language to read when you record, and see each voice's languages at a glance.
• Bug fixes.
