Drop one in — a novel, a textbook, your course notes — and StoryReel animates, narrates and scores it. Part 1 plays first; the rest is made while you watch.
How it works
You don’t wait for the whole book. StoryReel makes the opening first, hands it to you, and keeps working ahead of wherever you are.
Drop in an EPUB, a PDF with selectable text, or plain .txt and .md notes. StoryReel reads the chapters, the figures and the metadata into your private library.
The first twenty-five pages or so become Part 1 — written for the screen, cast, painted and voiced. It’s made first, so it’s ready first.
Press play. While you watch, the next parts are made ahead of you — two parts in front, like a video buffering.
Three kinds of film
A thriller shouldn’t play like a lecture, and a chemistry chapter shouldn’t play like a thriller — unless it helps. StoryReel reads what you give it and chooses the form.
Novels & stories becomes drama
Characters get faces and voices. Locations get weather and light. The camera knows when to hold on a face and when to pull away. Every genre gets its own look, score and camera language.
Self-help & ideas becomes explainer
A relatable “you” on screen, the big idea acted out as a small story, and the numbers drawn when the numbers matter — so the point is still with you next week.
Textbooks & courses becomes lesson
A teacher and a student work through the chapter at a teaching board — steps, formulas, timelines, animated charts, diagrams and the book’s own figures — then a recap and a quick quiz to check it landed.
The programme
Each one adapted by StoryReel from original writing, to show what a single engine does across genres, subjects and ideas. Press play — no sign-up, no key.
Every genre gets its own look, score and camera language.
Admission
Free
By default your book joins the studio queue. Part 1 lands in your library when it’s ready — anywhere from minutes to a few hours — and the rest keeps coming while you watch.

Add an Anthropic API key in Settings and films start at once — about three minutes to Part 1. You pay Anthropic directly, roughly thirty to fifty cents per twenty-five-page part on Opus. The key is encrypted at rest and never sent back to your browser.

Natural voices
Narration and every character are read by natural neural voices, cast to fit whoever is speaking. Choose the accent and the pace in the player; subtitles keep step, word by word.
