Personalized Bedtime Stories in Your Voice
Want your child to hear a bedtime story in your voice, even when you're away? Record your voice once, choose a story, and NinniTales can tell it in your voice while your child listens with the screen off. The stories are written and curated by people; it's the voice that makes them personal.
Hear a sample before recording
These are sample narrators. Record your voice once in the app, then selected stories can be told in your voice.
Your voice, their bedtime story
Pick a story from the NinniTales library and hear it narrated in a familiar voice. You don't have to record every page or read the whole story into your phone.
Record your voice once, then pick a story and NinniTales tells it in your voice. You don't have to record every story yourself. See how to record your voice if you'd like the step-by-step guide.
What does personalized mean here?
Some personalized bedtime story services write a new plot around your child's name, favorite toys, or interests. NinniTales works differently: the stories are already written and curated, and the narration can sound like you. It doesn't add your child's name or rewrite the story.
If you're comparing those approaches, our guide to AI and curated bedtime stories explains the difference. Choose the kind of story experience your family wants.
Choose a story, then put the phone aside
An adult chooses a story and starts it in the app. Your child can keep listening after the screen is turned off, without watching a video.
You can browse story collections to find a familiar favorite before bedtime.
For the nights you can't read aloud
Work, travel, or a late shift can make bedtime together difficult. A story told in your voice is one way to share something familiar when you can't read in person.
When you are together, you can still read aloud as usual. NinniTales is another option for storytime, not a replacement for being there.
Stories your child could hear tonight
The Brave Little Bunny
On the night of the big storm, a small bunny named Bo is afraid of the dark forest. Then one tiny act of kindness turns fear into courage and carries him gently home to sleep.
Tortoise and the Rabbit
A speedy rabbit named Rusty is sure he can never lose to slow little Shellby the tortoise. But steady steps, taken every single day, carry Shellby further than one big burst of speed, and teach the whole meadow that consistency is a superpower.
Cinderella
A kind-hearted girl endures an unkind stepfamily with a gentle heart. With a little courage and a little magic, she finds happiness, and learns that kindness is strongest when we share it even when others have not shared it with us.
Leo Finds His Roar
A tiny lion cub named Leo wakes up lost and frightened on a big city street, where his roar comes out as only a squeak. With the help of a kind boy named Milo, and one brave rescue, Leo discovers that being brave means helping even when your legs are shaking.

Frequently asked questions
Do personalized bedtime stories on NinniTales include my child's name?
No. NinniTales personalizes the narrator's voice, not the story's characters or plot. You choose from curated, human-written stories.
Do I have to record every story myself?
No. Record your voice once, then choose stories from the library to hear them told in your voice.
Can my child listen without watching a screen?
Yes. An adult starts the audio story in the app, and listening can continue with the screen off.
Can I record another person's voice?
Only use a voice belonging to an adult who has agreed to the recording and narration. Voice data can be deleted through the app's settings.
