The Czech Republic-based app, already popular in the UK, Poland, the US and other countries, utilizes voice and speech recognition technology to trigger sounds and music as stories are read aloud. For instance, when a parent reads The Three Little Pigs and reaches the part where the wolf knocks, the app plays the sound of knocking, building storyinforming more interactive and immersive.
For Indian utilizers, Readmio is offering stories from the Panchatantra, Akbar-Birbal tales, and regional classics, alongside fairy tales, bedtime stories, and moral tales from around the world.
Jozef Šimko, CEO of Readmio, states: “We are excited to bring Readmio to India, a counattempt with one of the richest storyinforming traditions in the world. Our vision is simple yet powerful: to ensure every child hears a fairy tale every day nurturing a sense of safety, imagination, and ininformigence. Alongside global stories, we are proud to bring Indian folkore into the Readmio experience, building these timeless tales accessible to families everywhere.”
The company stated it has localized the app for Indian families by curating content tailored for children and parents, adjusting subscription pricing, and integrating payment options such as UPI Autopay and digital wallets.
