Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the StoryWhisper experience.

Is StoryWhisper really free?

Absolutely. The first 3 chapters of every title are completely free — no account required. Log in and chapters unlock automatically on timers. Premium options are available if you want to binge without waiting.

How are these stories created?

Every title in the StoryWhisper library is directed, edited, and produced using a proprietary production pipeline. Advanced generative technology is the instrument — the creative vision, pacing, voice casting, and sound design are all human decisions. Think of it as AI-enriched storytelling: the technology handles scale, while I ensure quality.

How do chapter unlocks work?

The first 3 chapters of every story are free. After that, chapters unlock automatically on timers — typically every 24 hours. If you don't want to wait, you can use Echoes or Whispers to unlock instantly.

Can I listen offline?

Yes. StoryWhisper is a Progressive Web App (PWA) with offline support. Once you've played a chapter, it's cached for offline listening. For the best experience, install StoryWhisper on your device.

How do I install StoryWhisper on my phone?

On iOS, open StoryWhisper in Safari, tap the Share button, and select 'Add to Home Screen.' On Android, you'll see an 'Install' prompt automatically, or tap the browser menu and select 'Install app.' Once installed, it works just like a native app.

Does audio play in the background?

Always. You can switch apps, lock your phone, or put it in your pocket — your story keeps playing. Control playback from your lock screen, Bluetooth headphones, or car dashboard.

How does audio vary by title?

Narration and sound elements vary by title. Each story page shows available chapter information and any title-specific audio details.

What genres do you cover?

The catalog spans Fantasy, Romance, Mystery, Thriller, Horror, Sci-Fi, Cultivation/Wuxia, LitRPG, Adventure, Comedy, Dark Fantasy, Historical Fiction, Psychological Thriller, Dark Academia, Mythology, Legal Drama, and Sports Fiction. Browse current titles on the Discover page.

Can I adjust playback speed?

Yes — from 0.5x to 2x. Your preference is saved and applied across all stories automatically.

Will my progress sync across devices?

When you're logged in, your listening progress, bookmarks, and preferences sync across every device. Start on your phone, continue on your tablet, finish on your laptop.

What are Whispers and Echoes?

Whispers and Echoes are in-app currencies. Whispers are earned through daily rewards, watching ads, and completing streaks. Echoes are premium currency available for purchase. Both unlock chapters and access premium features.

Can I request specific stories or genres?

Every suggestion is read. The next production is often influenced by what listeners ask for. Send your ideas to support@storywhisper.ca — if enough people want it, it gets produced.

Is there a limit to how much I can listen?

None. Once you've unlocked a chapter — whether through free unlocks, daily rewards, or premium currency — it's yours forever. Listen as many times as you want.

What if I encounter a problem?

Visit the Support page or email support@storywhisper.ca. Include what happened, your device, and your browser. We typically respond within 24-48 hours.
