Gliderule
Bedtime stories, read in a parent's own voice.
Gliderule is building Oyakoehon (おやこえほん), a service for families with children aged 0–6. A parent records a short sample of their voice, and we narrate a curated set of classic children's stories in that voice — for the nights they can't be there to read.
あなたが読めない夜も、あなたの声で。
How it works
- Stories are public-domain classics, selected and edited for each age band.
- Narration is generated with speech models we host ourselves.
- Families receive audio files and a read-along web player that shows the text and highlights it as the story is read.
- A one-time purchase, not a subscription.
Voice and privacy
A parent's voice belongs to them. Voice recordings are used only to produce that family's stories and are deleted within 90 days.
