Soyle Stories

Read full description

Your child becomes the hero of their own story โ€” now on the page or read aloud. Soyle Stories helps parents and grandparents put together warm bedtime stories in minutes. Your child's name, looks, interests โ€” even mom and dad โ€” become part of the tale. WHAT THE APP DOES โ€” Personalized stories written around your child, from a one-line idea โ€” Four kinds of story: text only, illustrated, narrated, or illustrated + narrated โ€” Narration read aloud in a male or female voice, your choice โ€” 17 story and interface languages: English, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Kazakh, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Turkish, Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil โ€” each story composed directly in your chosen language, not translated โ€” Ten cultural traditions: Eastern Slavic, Western European fairy tale, Nordic and Celtic, Arabian-Persian, South Asian, Chinese, Japanese yokai, Turkic and steppe, sub-Saharan African, Indigenous Americas โ€” Six illustration styles, from hand-drawn cartoon to paper collage and decorative folklore in the Bilibin tradition โ€” A breadth of ideas โ€” adventures, a moral such as kindness or courage, and a gentle way into a hard subject like a fear, a move, or a new sibling โ€” Length: 5, 10, or 15 minutes โ€” Stories saved in your library; text stories sync across your Apple devices LISTENING Listening can begin while the narration is being prepared, and the full audio is usually ready within a few minutes. It plays in the background, with Lock Screen and Control Center controls to play, pause, and skip; in the app, you can slow down or speed up the narration. The finished narration is saved to the device. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a hero through a few guided steps โ€” name, age, looks, interests; optionally add mom and dad. 2. Describe the idea in one line, such as "how the fox went looking for her tail". 3. Choose the language, length, tradition, and meaning; pick text, illustrations, narration, or both. 4. Minutes later the story is ready โ€” read it, listen, save it, and share the story or the audio. WHO IT IS FOR โ€” Families with more than one language at home, keeping the home language alive at bedtime โ€” Parents who lack the energy to invent a fresh story every night โ€” Children aged 2 to 12 who want to be the hero SUBSCRIPTION AND COINS โ€” Six learning stories with pre-built heroes โ€” now narrated too โ€” show what a finished story looks and sounds like before you buy. โ€” A subscription unlocks text-only stories. Coins are used for stories with illustrations, narration, or both โ€” the amount needed is shown before you create one. โ€” Basic: up to 90 minutes of text stories per day. Plus: up to 120 minutes of text stories per day, plus 12 coins every month (coin stories are NOT capped by the daily limit). โ€” Coins can be bought separately and work without a subscription; purchased coins do not expire while your account is active. Unused monthly Plus coins roll over up to a 36-coin cap. โ€” Subscription and auto-renewal are managed in your Apple ID settings. SAFETY AND TRUST Stories, pictures, and narration are created by AI. We have put real care into the model's instructions and several layers of checks, for text and for illustrations, to make results as safe as we can. Even so, no one can promise a perfect result every time, so Soyle Stories is designed for parent-led use: stay close, listen and read along, and look a story over. The app is a helper for the parent, not a replacement. No ads or advertising links, and no child data shared with advertising or tracking systems โ€” the details you enter are used to create, personalize, and store your stories, not for advertising. There are two of us, and we are parents ourselves โ€” we make Soyle Stories for families like ours. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Notzart

Features
Read full description

Note trainer with mic โ€” play a note, Notzart recognizes it instantly. Notzart turns your phone into a music-reading coach. A note appears on the staff; you play it on your real instrument; the microphone listens, the algorithm compares the pitch, and you get a green flash for a correct answer or a gentle red one for a miss. No typing, no buttons โ€” just play. Designed for beginners and pre-conservatory students, equally useful for adults brushing up on score-reading. SIX INSTRUMENTS Piano, Guitar (6-string, 19 frets), Bass Guitar (4-string, E1 to G4), Flute (C4 to C7), Violin and Cello. Each gets its own optimised microphone preset and a dedicated screen โ€” keyboard, fretboard or intonation light. REAL MUSIC NOTATION Treble, bass, alto and baritone clefs. Whole, half, quarter, eighth, 16th and 32nd notes with proper note heads, beamed eighths and sharps/flats drawn next to the notes. Bar lines, time signatures, dots, ties, fermatas โ€” the staff looks like the real thing because it is. SONGS TRAINER โ€” 35 BUILT-IN MELODIES From Twinkle Twinkle and Mary Had a Little Lamb to Greensleeves, Vincent (Starry Night), Auld Lang Syne, Hava Nagila, Brahms Lullaby and Minuet in C โ€” six different keys (C, G, D, F major; A, D, E minor) so you practice every accidental that matters in early sight-reading. Each song is broken into 8 progressive stages: right-hand fragments, full right hand, left hand fragments, full left hand, right at tempo, left at tempo, both hands manual, both hands at tempo. The staff scrolls glass-smooth under a fixed playhead, the beat clock waits for your first note before starting, and you can jump bar by bar at any moment. CHROMATIC TUNER A separate Tuner tab with a cents meter, animated needle, green/yellow/red zones, and open-string references for guitar, bass, violin and cello. Tune your instrument before you practice โ€” no app-switching. FOUR LANGUAGES, THREE NOTE SYSTEMS English, Russian, Italian, Spanish. Pick Do Re Mi or C D E or Russian solfege for note names โ€” independent of UI language. OCTAVE-ACCURATE The pitch detector returns the correct octave too โ€” C4 and C5 are never confused. Choose which octaves to practice in Settings and narrow the range to your current level. METRONOME 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 and 6/8 time signatures. BPM 30 to 240, visual beat dots, audible tick that won't fight your instrument. STATS AND HISTORY Top 8 best practice sessions are saved automatically with date, accuracy percentage, streak and counts of correct and wrong answers. All data stays on your device. PRIVACY No account. No analytics. No ads. Microphone audio is processed live in memory and never recorded, stored or transmitted. Kuka Soft notzart.kuka-soft.com mail@kuka-soft.com
