Storytime is the faceless format that never stops working — a narrated story, gameplay underneath, captions on every word. Nova builds it: paste your story or a Reddit thread, pick a voice, and it narrates over looping gameplay with kinetic captions timed to the read. A finished storytime short, no face and no editor.

## What you get

### Any story becomes a short

Paste your own writing or a Reddit story link and Nova narrates it in an AI voice over looping gameplay — the storytime format assembled end to end from text alone.

### Kinetic captions that hold

Word-by-word captions pulse on the emphasised words, synced to the AI narration — the retention trick every storytime page leans on, burned in automatically.

### Ship one every day

Because Nova generates the voice and the background, a storytime short takes one paste instead of an evening of editing — enough to actually feed the daily-posting habit the niche rewards.

## FAQ

### How do I make a story time video without showing my face?

Paste your story text or a Reddit thread into Nova's faceless mode. It narrates the story in an AI voice, lays it over looping gameplay, and burns in word-by-word captions timed to the narration — a finished storytime short, no camera.

### Can I use my own written story?

Yes — type or paste your own story and Nova narrates it, or drop a Reddit story link and it reads the post. Either way you get a captioned vertical short over gameplay.

### Is it free?

Faceless storytime generation runs AI voice synthesis per render, so it's a paid feature. Regular AI clipping is free to try — 60 minutes a month, no card.
