Fanny
The Author's Reader
Fanny reads your manuscript aloud in a voice you choose,
lighting each line as it speaks so you can follow along.
It uses the voices already on your computer —
no account, no internet, no special hardware.
Written for storytellers.
Given freely to the world.

How to use it
1. Open Voices — preview the voices on your device, tap one to use it
2. Open Tune — pick a reading style, set speed & pitch
3. Open Read — paste a chapter and press play
4. Click any line to start reading from there
💡 On a laptop, the voices that say “On device” work with no internet. The ones marked “Online” need a connection and usually sound more natural. Reading one chapter at a time stays smoothest.
