The Living Storybook

Parler turns the stories of your family's daily life — the sign on the way home, the chore chart, what happened at recess — into your child's reading lessons: real books, read aloud word by word.

Read along, word by word

Every word lights up as it is spoken.

The sentence comes from your day. The picture is drawn in the style your kid loves. Then the page reads itself, one word at a time, and every word is a tap away from being heard again.

A whole book, right here

Six everyday moments. One book.

This is the actual reader, running in your browser right now — press play and the words light up one at a time. Every page is a different language and a different art style, because every story can be drawn in whatever your kid loves.

Why this actually works

Reading sticks when it’s about

Workbooks teach in the abstract. Parler builds reading from the stories of your family’s daily life — the menu they read, the chore they checked off, the bug in the garden — so every new word is memorable, useful, and meaningful.

Memorable
psychology

Words, tied to real moments

Vocabulary your child lived sticks. Words from a flashcard fade. Capture a chore chart, a menu, a poster, a recipe, and Parler reads it back so the sound joins the memory.

Meaningful
edit_note

Their list, their library

Kids choose what to add: today's adventures, the bug they found, what they want for breakfast. Curating their own reading material teaches ownership, not compliance.

Useful
translate

A second language, naturally

Talk about everyday life in your home language; Parler reads it back in the language they're learning. Both languages on screen, side by side. The most useful French is the kind you actually use after dinner.

No download required

It already works on the device you’re holding.

Parler runs in the browser. There is no app to install, no store account to set up, and nothing to keep updated — open the link and start reading. The iOS app is there if you want it, not because you need it.

language

No app store, no install

Parler runs in the browser on the tablet, the laptop and the phone you already have. Open a link and you're reading.

devices

The same library everywhere

Start a story on the kitchen iPad, finish it on the couch laptop. It's the same account and the same library, not a copy.

link

Sharing is just a link

Grandparents don't have to be talked through an install. They tap what you emailed them and it opens.

The family circle

Grandma doesn’t install anything.

You choose one story and tap Send. It arrives as a link she opens in whatever browser she already has — and she hears your child read it in their own voice.

send1

You choose what she sees

Nothing is shared by default. You pick a story, a drawing or a scanned page and tap Send. A family viewer only ever sees the items you hand them — there is no browsable library.

mail2

It lands in her mailbox

She opens it in whatever browser she already has. An emailed share needs no account at all — it's just a link. A recurring viewer gets a code and her own simple mailbox page.

graphic_eq3

She hears them read it

Not a robot voice — your child's own recording, the take they were proudest of. She can replay it as many times as she likes.

favorite4

She sends a heart back

Six reactions — heart, thumbs-up, clap, sparkle, party, star. The family sees it land, so your kid finds out grandma clapped for the story they wrote this morning.

print5

Or it arrives in the post

Print the story as a picture book, or fold a drawing into one of 25 greeting-card templates and mail it. The screen is where it starts, not where it ends.
