Privacy & how it works

VoiceTale on the web is built the same way as our iOS apps: private by design.

No microphone on the web

The iPhone and iPad app lets you record and coach your own told tales, all on your device. The browser can't do that safely, so the web version never asks for your microphone — instead you practice the craft of a told tale: its shape and its delivery. To record and tell, use the app.

Everything stays on this device

Your progress — level, XP, and streak — is stored only in this browser (on-device storage). It is never sent anywhere. Clear your browser data and it's gone; nobody else can see it.

No accounts, no ads, no tracking

There is no sign-up and no login. There are no ads and no in-app purchases. There are no third-party trackers embedded in the app.

Built for ages 9–14

The 400 Story-Concepts questions come straight from the VoiceTale iOS app and are aligned to Common Core speaking & listening standards. A hint appears only after a first try — you think it through first, and every telling is treated as a good telling.

Honoring storytelling traditions

Oral storytelling belongs to many living traditions around the world. Where the app touches that history, it credits those traditions with respect and never speaks for a community it isn't part of.
