An Oviedo Studio app

MarianaLee

A story to read together, in your voice.

MarianaLee is for a mother, father or guardian to read aloud to young children. The app listens to your reading on the phone itself and plays each sound on the exact word: the bark when you say “dog”, footsteps as the wolf draws near. You bring the voice; the app brings the sound.

Coming soon to Google Play

MarianaLee: you read, the app plays the sound on the exact word

How it works

  • Open a story and read aloud (“With my voice”), or tap the words if you would rather not use the microphone (“Tap”).
  • Many stories have two versions: Basic (short sentences) and Advanced.
  • Illustrations on every page and soft music at the end.
  • “Sleep” mode: calm sounds (piano, lullaby, crickets, countryside) with a timer and a dark screen.
  • Some stories can also be read in English.

In noisy places speech recognition can fail; that is why the “Tap” mode exists.

What it looks like

Welcome screen (in Spanish): “You read, the app accompanies you”
Story library with illustrated covers, age filters and a lock on paid stories
Options before reading: “With my voice” or “Tap”, Basic or Advanced level, language
A story page with an illustration of a sleepy sheep and the text to read aloud
“Sleep” screen: calm sounds for night and nap time

The screenshots show the app in Spanish; the app can also be used in English.

Built for bedtime and for privacy

  • Works offline. Only the optional purchase needs a connection.
  • No ads, no analytics, no account.
  • Speech recognition happens inside the phone: audio is never recorded or sent. Without microphone permission the app works the same by tapping words.

Privacy policy · Terms of use

Free, plus one payment

Several complete stories are free. If you like them, a one-time payment unlocks the whole library, with no subscription. Stories added later are free for those who already bought. An adult makes the purchase through Google Play, behind an adult gate.

What MarianaLee is not

It is a tool for reading together, always with an adult present. It does not look after the child, it is not a medical or certified educational service, and it does not promise anyone will fall asleep. Keep the phone away from the crib or bed.

Transparency

The illustrations were created with artificial-intelligence tools and reviewed by the team. The texts are original or our own versions of public-domain tales. Speech recognition uses Vosk (Apache-2.0); credits and licenses are in “About” inside the app.
