iPhone
Racconto tells you about the places you pass while driving. A river, a village, an old mill, a battlefield: as you approach, a voice tells you its story, in a few sentences or a full chapter.
TRUE STORIES
Every story is written from Wikipedia and official heritage registers (Québec, Canada, United States, France, New Zealand). Nothing is made up, and the sources are always one tap away. Stories in prepared trips are also checked again against their sources.
MADE FOR THE ROAD
No screen to look at. Racconto speaks between songs, steps aside for navigation prompts, and works with the screen locked and in CarPlay. Siri starts, skips or expands a story.
YOUR WAY
27 topics (history, nature, architecture, legends, famous people…), story length, tone (informative, playful, calm or humorous), and how often, from a few an hour to non-stop. Stories made for kids.
PREPARED TRIPS, OFFLINE
Pick a route, or bring in a trip planned in Bivio: Racconto prepares every story ahead of time, to play without a network. Listen at home too, like an audiobook.
ROAD QUIZ
Between two stories, Racconto asks questions about the places you just passed. Passengers answer on their iPhone, even without the app thanks to the App Clip; the driver answers out loud.
CONVOYS AND CIRCLES
Several cars hear the same stories at the same places. Share a prepared trip with a Cerchia circle.
13 LANGUAGES
English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic and Russian, for the stories and the app.
