Hey PH 👋 I’m Ben, the maker of TeddyReads. I built this for my niece and nephew. They live far away and they ask to hear my voice at bedtime. I went looking for something I could make for them and wasn’t impressed with what was out there. The illustrated books felt generic, the personalization was surface level, and none of them had anything close to real narration. So I built what I actually wanted. A proper storybook experience. Beautiful illustrations, a story where your kid is genuinely the hero, and the whole thing narrated in your actual voice. You record a short clip once and every story sounds like you reading it to them. There are other apps in this space and I respect that. My obsession is quality across the whole thing, the writing, the art, the narration, the printed book you can hold. Every detail. Kids don’t want a perfect AI voice. They want to hear the people they love. Would love to hear from any parents, aunts and uncles in the community

Great idea and execution. The immersion is awesome here. My friends created books for their kids and even for themselves too ^^.

TeddyReads Feedback thread

Hi everyone, I m Ben, the maker of TeddyReads.

TeddyReads makes personalised picture books starring your child. You chat with Teddy about what the book is for, add a photo, pick a sidekick and an art style, and get a 22-page illustrated story. You can have it read aloud in your own voice, or order a printed copy.

My goal was to make something genuinely good, not more AI slop. So every book is checked before it s ready, you can thumbs-down any picture and tell Teddy what s wrong so he redraws it, and you can change the text, fonts and style before it prints. At the end there s a Slop-o-meter where you tell Teddy how he did.

I d love your honest feedback, especially:
