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, any paid plan — from $15/month — makes them unlimited.
