EdTech Startup: Readmio Launches Voice-Reactive Storytelling App in India

Readmio, an award-winning, voice-reactive storytelling app designed to make storytelling more magical and meaningful has entered the Indian market.

After its existence in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, the UK, Poland, USA and beyond, Readmio is now ready to enter the Indian market.

For India, Readmio is introducing a rich collection of local folktales, fables and legends from the Panchatantra to Akbar-Birbal and regional classics alongside world-famous fairy tales, bedtime stories, educational tales and moral stories from across the globe.

Imagine reading The Three Little Pigs aloud and at the moment the wolf knocks on the door, the app instantly plays the sound of knocking. Stories come alive through music and sounds triggered by the storyteller’s voice, powered by voice and speech recognition technology.

Our vision is simple yet powerful: to ensure every child hears a fairy tale every day nurturing a sense of safety, imagination, and intelligence. Alongside global stories, we are proud to bring Indian folkore into the Readmio experience, making these timeless tales accessible to families everywhere."

To ensure a seamless experience for Indian families, Readmio is curating localized content tailored for Indian children and parents, adjusting its pricing to be competitive and accessible and integrating local payment options like UPI Autopay and digital wallets for convenient subscriptions.
