Storyteller is a unique self-hosted platform designed for both ebook and audiobook lovers. It combines three essential components—the API server, web interface, and mobile apps—to provide an unparalleled reading and listening experience.
Seamless Sync Between Audiobooks and Ebooks
One of the standout features of Storyteller is its ability to automatically synchronize audiobooks and ebooks you already own. This means you can switch between reading and listening without missing a beat.
Guided Narration Experience
For readers who enjoy a more immersive experience, Storyteller provides guided narration. This feature allows you to listen to the book's narration while reading the text, syncing the audio and visual components for a seamless flow.
Self-Hosted and Fully Owned Content
Storyteller is self-hosted, meaning you’re in full control of your data and content. Unlike cloud-based platforms, where your content is stored on external servers, Storyteller allows you to host the software on your own servers.
