BookSprite
Storytime, made more accessible
Every book can read itself aloud.
Set your phone above an open book once. BookSprite automatically detects each page turn and narrates as you read—no tapping between pages.
How it works
From printed page to narrated story in three simple steps.
Set up
Position your phone above the open book so its camera can see both pages.
Turn the page
BookSprite detects page turns automatically and recognizes the new words.
Listen
Keep your hands on the book—not the phone—and follow the narration together.
Screen-free after setup
Set it once. Turn pages. Listen together.
Leave the phone mounted above the book while you read. Automatic page-turn detection keeps the story moving without taps, swipes, or looking at the screen.
- Works with books already on your shelf
- Natural narration designed for listening together
- No screen interaction between page turns
