Sleep and story channels live or die on consistency, and nobody wants to record a soothing twenty-minute narration after work. Write or paste the story, pick a calm voice, and Nova narrates it over looping footage with captions — a finished vertical short, every night if you want one.

## What you get

### Write it, or let Nova draft it

Paste a story you have, or describe the one you want and press "Write it for me" — Nova drafts the narration into the box for you to read and edit before anything renders.

### A voice that suits the format

Eleven voices, several slow and low enough for sleep content. Test two reads of the same story and keep the one that settles.

### Captions for muted autoplay

Word-timed captions burned in, so the story still lands for the large share of viewers who scroll with sound off.

## FAQ

### Can I make bedtime story videos without recording?

Yes. Paste the story text, choose a voice, and Nova generates the narration, the background footage and the captions into a finished vertical video.

### How long can the story be?

Up to 5,000 characters per render — comfortably several minutes of narration. Longer stories work best split into parts, which suits the format anyway.

### Is it free?

Your first faceless short is free — no card. Nova gives every new account one full faceless render so you can judge the voice, the captions and the finished video before paying for anything. After that, shorts come in one-time packs from $0.99 with no subscription, or a monthly plan from $15 gives you up to 300 a month.
