Your book. Your voice. Lunaver Studio is a writing app you can run with your ears. You speak, it writes. You hear your chapter before you change it. It exists because its developer is losing his sight and no writing tool was made for ears. Today it is for everyone who would rather speak and listen than type and read. Our mission Writing should be closed to no one. That is why Lunaver Studio is built for ears, and the Braille export stays free. We commit to passing on 25% of our net revenue to organizations for blind and visually impaired people and to reporting on it on our website. Write by voice, keyboard or with Lumi Dictate or type, or let Lumi, your AI assistant, draft a chapter. Lumi plans with you, knows your chapters and answers questions about your text. Every chapter can be read aloud so you hear how it sounds. Voice commands and spoken feedback guide you through the app. Built for VoiceOver, not patched on Controls, dialogs and messages are labeled for VoiceOver. Dark interface, high contrast, reduced motion and Voice Control are supported. If something does not work, we want to know: write to us through the support page.
