About Talefall — Audiobook Player
Talefall — a player for the audiobooks you already have, and a studio for the ones you imagine. Listen to your audiobooks and public-domain classics and read along with highlighted text — no purchase needed. The subscription covers AI-created books and the Talefall voice on our service. MY BOOKS • Import files from Files or iCloud with the Import button; create AI books on the Create tab • Classics to Start (US storefront): public-domain classics read by LibriVox volunteers; remove any title or the whole shelf and bring it back • Open MP3, M4B and ZIP audiobooks from other apps with “Open in Talefall” A PLAYER BUILT FOR AUDIOBOOKS • Resumes to the exact second — every book remembers its place • Speed from 0.5× to 3×, ±15 s skips, chapters, sleep timer with a gentle fade • Bookmarks, highlights, notes and in-book search • Background play, lock screen and AirPlay • Import MP3, M4A, M4B, AAC, FLAC and more — files, folders or ZIP, from the Files app or over Wi-Fi from your computer • Catalogs: LibriVox audiobooks (also via Internet Archive) and Project Gutenberg texts READ AND LISTEN, TOGETHER Import an EPUB, PDF, FB2 or TXT, or paste text. Narrate it with an Apple voice right on your iPhone (works offline, no subscription) or in the Talefall voice on our service (subscription, uses hours), with native English, Spanish and Russian narrators. Turn an audiobook into text with on-device speech recognition; the audio never leaves your iPhone. Then read and listen together: the sentence being read is highlighted. 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. Fiction only: do not include real personal or health information about anyone, including yourself. AI-written explainers and how-tos can contain mistakes. Anonymous usage counters are sent only if you allow them. AVAILABILITY Creating books and narration on our service are for adults (18+) in supported countries. They are not available in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland and some other countries. Supported countries: https://ownplace.net/talefall/ai-studio-territories SUBSCRIPTION • Talefall Subscription (monthly, auto-renewing): books from your ideas and narration in the Talefall voice — up to 5 hours of new AI audio each billing period. Unused hours do not carry over. Listening never uses hours • Everything that runs on your iPhone needs no purchase • Earlier player purchases remain yours. Previously purchased extra hours do not expire; using them requires an active subscription Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
