THE CHALLENGE

  • Accessibility Issues: Readers with visual impairments struggle with low-light reading and lack of font customization in physical books.
  • Physical Discomfort: Glasses press into the face when lying down, making it uncomfortable to read.
  • Eye Strain: Dim lighting and glare from screens can worsen eye strain, leading to discomfort during long reading sessions.
  • Limited Audiobook Personalization: Existing audiobook platforms lack customization options, making the experience feel monotonous or impersonal

THE SOLUTION

  • Personalized Audio Experience: Users can record their own voice or choose from a range of voices, making each audiobook feel more personal and familiar.
  • Comfort-Oriented Design: No more holding books or straining to read screens — just listen comfortably, hands-free.
  • Smart Features:
    • Instant Book Scanning: Simply scan a book’s barcode to find the audiobook version.
    • Voice Customization: Tailor narration speed and tone to suit your bedtime mood.
    • Inactivity Reminder: Prompts users when playback is detected as inactive, preventing battery drain.
    • Smart Bookmarking: Automatically saves your place and sets sleep timers to avoid losing progress.
    • Narrator Choice: Pick from multiple narrators or record your own, creating a more immersive experience.
