## What is Cedartale?

Every parent wants to be a great storyteller. Cedartale makes them one — with AI that helps you craft the story and your own voice that tells it.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Record your voice. A short sample of you reading aloud is all it takes. Stays private — only used to render stories on your account.
2. AI helps you craft the story. Pick from a library of templates, describe a topic, or let us suggest something tuned to your child's age and interests. The AI expands what you're able to offer — more themes, deeper knowledge, richer vocabulary than any one parent can improvise alone.
3. Hit play. Renders in about a minute. Your child hears it in your voice — personalized, warm, and all theirs.

AUDIO PICTURE BOOKS
Turn any story into an illustrated picture book. AI generates artwork for each scene, synchronized to your voice. Choose an art style, upload a photo of your child as inspiration, and add background music from our library. Your child can listen screen-free or follow along page by page. Print it as a keepsake or share it as a gift.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Most parents tell the same handful of stories on repeat — or give up and hand over the tablet. Cedartale gives you the range you've never had: deeper knowledge, broader themes, richer vocabulary. Science, adventure, heritage, wonder. All in your voice. All with pictures too.

PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN
• Your voice stays on your account. We never share it, sell it, or use it to train models.
• You consent explicitly when you record, and you can delete your voice at any time.
• No third-party advertising. No tracking across other apps or websites.
• Children are listeners, not users. We do not create accounts for kids.

LANGUAGES
English and Mandarin Chinese. Bilingual families welcome — record once, tell stories in either language.

SUBSCRIPTION
Cedartale is a monthly subscription with story credits that refresh each month. Plans, pricing, and credit allowances are shown in-app before purchase. Manage or cancel any time in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.

Cedartale uses AI to write and narrate stories, and to generate illustrations for picture books. Audio and images are generated, not live-recorded. We apply content moderation before audio and image generation so only content that's safe for your child will be created.
