Before you begin
Here's what you'll need:
- A StoryNest account
- The name of a book you own
Let's get started
Follow these steps
These instructions match the current StoryNest app. The pictures are simple screen maps until verified product screenshots are available.
Choose Record a story
Open your bookshelf and select Record a story. This opens the first step of the book setup.
Find the book
On Which book are you reading?, search for the title and select the correct result if it appears. You can provide book details manually when needed.
Check the details
Confirm the title, author and cover. You can also add the reader's name so your child knows whose voice they'll hear.
Start a recording
Select Next: start recording to save the book and open its recording studio. A new book is not automatically a finished story.
A few handy tips
- Use the exact title where possible so your shelf is easier to browse.
- You read from your own physical copy; StoryNest does not provide the book's printed pages.

Common questions
Does adding a book include an audiobook?
No. You or an invited loved one make the recording.
Can I edit the details later?
Yes. Open the book from the bookshelf and choose its edit option.
