Audio Bedtime Stories for Kids — Screen Off
Audio bedtime stories let children listen instead of watch. Choose a story, press play, and put the phone aside while your child keeps listening with the screen off. Record your voice once, and NinniTales can tell bedtime stories in your voice when you can't be there.
Listen with the screen off
Audio only, with no video to watch during playback. This website demo uses a stand-in narrator; the app can narrate curated stories in a consenting adult's saved voice.
Listen instead of watch at bedtime
NinniTales changes the activity from watching to listening: once a story starts, there is no video to follow and the screen can stay off.
That makes it useful for parents who want bedtime storytime without keeping a lit display in front of the child. You choose the story, press play, and the child listens instead of watching.
Listen to bedtime stories with the screen off
NinniTales is designed for audio listening after an adult starts the story. The phone or tablet does not need to stay lit during playback.
The website is for browsing and reading story pages; narrated audio playback happens in the app. You can browse bedtime stories before choosing what to listen to.
Screen-free, and in a voice they know
With the voice owner's consent, an adult records a voice sample once. AI voice cloning and narration can then read selected curated stories in that familiar voice without the adult recording each story word for word.
The stories themselves stay human-crafted and curated rather than being generated on demand. See bedtime stories in your own voice for how the voice experience works.
Choose a story, then put the phone aside
Families can explore stories by age, theme and collection on Bedtime Stories, including calm bedtime stories. The broad Hindi library is available at Hindi stories.
The goal is simple: use the phone briefly to choose the story, then let the audio carry the rest of bedtime.
Calm stories to listen to with the screen off
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.
The Little Swan
A big gray duckling feels different from all his yellow brothers and sisters, and sets off alone. At a sparkling lake, a family of kind swans welcomes him, and one still morning he discovers he was a swan all along, learning that true beauty comes from being exactly who you are.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can kids listen to bedtime stories without watching a screen?
Yes. An adult starts a NinniTales story on a compatible phone or tablet, then the child can continue listening with the screen off.
How do I reduce my child's screen time at bedtime?
Make the phone a short setup step instead of the bedtime activity: choose the story, dim or turn off the display, and let the child listen. Keeping the same simple sequence each night can also make the switch from video to audio easier to understand.
Can the audio stories be narrated in my voice?
Yes, with the adult voice owner's consent. A one-time voice sample can be used for AI narration of curated stories, so you do not need to record every story in full.
Where can I listen to NinniTales audio stories?
Narrated audio playback happens in the NinniTales app. The website lets families browse and read story pages before choosing what to play.
