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.

💡 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.
