CREATE AN AUDIOBOOK FROM AN IDEA (SUBSCRIPTION) • Describe a story, an explainer or a how-to in a few sentences • Choose the language (English, Russian or Spanish) and the length, from 15 minutes to 5 hours • An AI model writes the text, and Talefall narrates it chapter by chapter • Finished chapters download in the background (depends on notification permission and iOS), and the book shows how many have arrived. If you allow notifications, Talefall tells you when a book is ready • Books are saved on your iPhone, with a copy in your iCloud when it is available; our server copy is deleted after delivery One AI sample story is included. Other books shown (LibriVox classics and a sample EPUB) are not included; classics download when you choose them. PRIVACY No ads, no account, no tracking. Before your first AI order, Talefall asks your permission to send your ideas, settings and text directly to OpenAI (OpenAI OpCo, LLC), under our contract and data processing agreement with OpenAI. No model training, no sale, no advertising. OpenAI may keep requests up to 30 days for service delivery and abuse prevention, longer if required by law or to protect against harm; no single maximum applies.
