Saarathi Storybooks · Personalised stories with voice interaction · Shipping starts Q1 2027

A story to hold. A conversation to share.

A printed story that reads itself aloud in the Saarathi folio, and answers a child's questions about its characters and what happens to them. Read it together, listen together, and talk about it.

Shipping starts Q1 2027. No title has finished its artwork and narration yet, so none is on sale.

“Why is the moon missing?”

A child is on a printed spread of a night sky with clouds across it. The folio has just read the page. She presses and asks where the moon has gone.

Dvani answers from the story: look at the clouds, what could be hiding behind them? She looks again at the picture in front of her, and finds it. The conversation is about the printed page — it does not rewrite the story, and it does not carry on into anything else.

This is a description of the experience we are building, illustrated with a concept sample. It is not a recording of a finished product.

Their name, and your voice. Not their face.

Planned for the first titles

The name and a dedication

The story is written so a child's name sits naturally in every line, with a dedication from you at the front.

Planned for the first titles

Read by you

Record the narration yourself in Studio and the printed book reads in your voice — your actual recording, played back. We do not clone voices, so we cannot read new pages in your voice later.

Not offered

Your child drawn into the pictures

Building a character from a photograph of a child is something we want to do and are not doing. It needs consent, character approval and page approval built properly first, and we would rather not hold a photograph of a child before that exists.

The folio, the story, and a year of voice.

Hardware

The Saarathi folio

₹2,200, bought once. The electronics live in the folio, and one folio reads every booklet you own.

The story

Printed and bound

from ₹250. Personalising it may cost more, depending on the title — that will be on the title, not discovered at a checkout.

The service

First year included

The voice service is included for the first year with a Storybook. After that it is ₹250 a year.

When can I buy one?

When the first title has finished artwork and narration and been through age and content review. We will list titles one at a time as that happens, rather than publishing a catalogue of covers.

Does it interrupt the story with questions?

No. It reads the story. Your child asks when they want to, and it answers about the page they are on.

Can it read in my voice?

You can record the pages yourself in Studio, and that recording is what plays. We do not clone voices, so it cannot read anything you have not recorded.

What if my child asks something the story does not cover?

It says the story does not say. That is deliberate: a book that confidently makes things up is worse than one that admits the limit.

I write children's books. Can I publish through Dvani?

Yes, and we are inviting the first partners now — see Dvani for creators.

We will tell you when the first story is ready.

One message, when there is something real to read.
