We have released the Comobi stories skill on Alexa!
There are already dozens of skills on Alexa for storytelling. What is special about our skill then?
- No more struggle shouting to Alexa for a story and never getting the one you want. We made it easy and fun for children to reach the stories, giving them the role of the story writer who decides the location, the characters, and the special thing for their story to be unique!
- It is narrated by professional voice actors, not by a robot. Most of the skills propose stories narrated by Alexa. But well, although Alexa can be very lively and fun, the narration of a long story can feel very ... unnatural. We believe that human narration is much more adapted and engaging for young children. And we mixed the read-aloud with pieces of famous classical music and sound effects that enhance the children's experience!
Aesop wrote more than 300 fables. That's a lot to explore! We'll be adding new stories every month, and we'd love to hear your opinion about the stories:
- are your kids having fun with it? Or trouble interacting?
- what do you think about the narrations?
- how about the future stories? Any story you would like to listen to?
