Text gets a voice — books, articles, web pages read aloud by 43 built-in neural voices in 21 languages, plus every Apple voice on your device — often 80+ in total. Audio gets a text — podcasts, audiobooks, lectures transcribed, punctuated and structured into paragraphs. Live translation in any direction. All on-device, no cloud, no account.
Giving audio a transcript — or giving text a voice — doesn't change how you consume it. You still move through it in a straight line, losing hours just to reach the meaning.
SayFable reads differently. It weighs every word, so what matters rises and the filler falls away. It turns every sentence into a vector, so it can measure not just meaning but emotion. Together they break the text into scenes — self-contained blocks of meaning — a map you can navigate.
See what it's about in seconds. Jump to any point by what it means. Follow the emotional arc. Search by keyword and by sense. Gather the moments that matter into a playlist.
Find what matters to you — and share it.
Say your fable.
File or link — two minutes later: scenes, characters, voices, emotional arc, importance scores. A complete semantic map of the text, computed entirely on your device.

Analysed
Sayfable runs a three-phase analysis on every book — scene segmentation, entity recognition, emotional annotation. The map is ready the moment import completes — scenes, characters, scores, all waiting.
Combine a web article, three podcast clips, a chapter pasted from a book, and two local audio files. Sayfable unifies them into a single seamless object — audio transcribed to text, text synthesised to audio, foreign language translated to yours. Play it from start to finish as if it was always one thing.
Every text in every object is editable — fix a transcription error, cut a repetitive intro, reorder chapters. Your object, your edit.
Import, analyse, navigate, search, synthesise, translate — the complete Sayfable workflow on a real book. Jump to any chapter.
Every sentence synthesized with its own pitch, speed, and pause — shaped by the analysis. Dialogue softens and slows. Action peaks louder. Questions rise. All parameters baked into audio files before playback — no live synthesis, no dropouts, CarPlay-ready. Apple TTS and Silero neural voices across 20+ languages.
Same passage — Red Rising, the Darrow and Eo kitchen scene. With Expressive Reading ON, voices switch automatically by speaker. Pauses appear at emotional beats. No manual configuration. Works for every sentence, every chapter, every book.
Record 15 minutes of your voice once. Sayfable uses Apple's Personal Voice to synthesise any text in that voice — books, articles, stories, notes. A dad can read every bedtime story his child will ever want, from any book, on any night. Even when he's not there.

Also: phone in pocket, video playing, screen dark — stays awake for the whole commute.
Every voice runs entirely on-device. Languages no other iOS app supports — including Latvian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Kazakh, Uzbek, Tajik, Kyrgyz, Azerbaijani, Armenian, Georgian and more. For Ukrainian and Belarusian: neural stress prediction with 99% coverage so synthesis sounds natural, not robotic.
One button switches standard playback into the Immersive Player — a live view of how the model reads. Every word tagged by part of speech: more verbs → action scene, faster; more nouns → descriptive, slower; heavy dialogue → softer tone; none dominant → mixed. For each scene you see its importance score (via embeddings) and emotional intensity (Apple sentiment) — plus the exact pitch, speed and speaker voice the synthesiser will apply. Powered by Apple's Natural Language framework — no data leaves your device.
Filter scenes by type — Action, Dialogue, Exposition. Set minimum importance score. Sort by sentiment. Build a playlist of only the moments that matter to you.
The analysis is a starting point — you have full editorial control over the result. Fix a mistranscribed word, merge split characters, assign a specific voice to a single sentence. Every correction is preserved and exports with the book.
You wrote the casting — narrator in one voice, each character in another. You built the playlist of scenes that matter most. You added a parallel translation so a friend can hear Tolstoy in their language. .say saves all of it — voice assignments, custom stress corrections, playlists, scene names, translations — in a single file. No waiting for a publisher. No waiting for an audiobook studio. Open it on any iPhone and it reconstructs exactly as you built it, instantly.
No internet, no server, no rights issues. The .say file contains only your data — the source stays on YouTube or your device. Recipients stream from the original source with your intelligence on top.
YouTube video, podcast, web article — paste the URL. Sayfable adds paragraph navigation, on-device translation, neural dubbing and TTS offline listening. News, lectures, tutorials: in your language, at your pace, with your personal voice.
Works across all content types — books, podcasts, recordings, YouTube. Three modes: text only (read the translation), audio only (hear the synthesis in your language), or both simultaneously. For Russian and other languages without Apple sentiment analysis, the English translation also improves scene importance scoring.
Paste a channel, podcast link, or news site — Sayfable keeps it fresh. New episodes, articles, and posts arrive automatically. No algorithm, no feed to scroll. Your library, quietly updating itself.
<link rel="alternate"> and imports it as a subscription. No wrestling with feed URLs.Podcast, audiobook, lecture, interview — transcribed on-device with neural punctuation. No 30-minute cap. No upload. After transcription, audio navigates exactly like books: scenes, semantic search, smart playlists.

Sayfable accepts content from wherever you find it. A book file, a podcast link, a web video URL, an audiobook folder, a webpage, your own voice.
All AI runs on your device — no servers, no tokens. We give you one slot free, forever. Buy slots one by one when you need them. Or get unlimited everything with Ultra — less than a single paperback per month.
Import one book, podcast, YouTube video or article. Get everything: neural voices, emotional arc, character map, semantic search, scene navigation, transcription, translation, dubbing. No time limit. It stays yours forever — even if you never pay.
Each slot is two things at once: the right to create a new object with full AI, and the right to preserve everything you build inside it — scenes, voices, playlists, translations — and take it with you. One-time, no recurring fee. The enrichment is yours forever. When you find yourself buying the third or fourth slot, Ultra will feel obvious.
Speech recognition, synthesis, translation, semantic analysis — all on-device. No cloud, no uploads, no model training on your data. Even your subscription status is a local unlock. Delete any book and every trace disappears instantly.
You own the content you import — personal books, purchased ebooks, public domain works. Sayfable is a reading tool, not a content host. Personal use only.
Import any EPUB, paste a podcast link, and you'll see the emotional arc of the whole book before you finish your coffee.
