Helping a low-literate mother share a bedtime story with her kids for the first time ever

A bedtime story is more powerful than you know.

Research shows that a parent reading to their child is a key factor in future success - helping develop vocabulary, empathy and creative problem solving. But when 773 million adults are low-literate, countless children grow up missing out on precious storytime, putting them at a great disadvantage.
For non-profit ProLiteracy, our mission is to bring storytime to low-literate households. So we developed a way for parents to narrate a story in their own voice, regardless of reading level. Thanks to voice cloning tech, with nothing but a phone, any mother or father could share a bedtime story with their kids.

MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE BEDTIME STORY POSSIBLE

We worked with Felicia, a mother of four learning how to read and write with ProLiteracy. With voice cloning technology, we replicated Felicia’s voice so she and her boys could finally hear her narrate a bedtime story.
