Here's how Novel Effect works: as you read aloud from a book, the app follows along and plays interactive music, sound effects, and character voices in response to your voice. The app's library is regularly updated with carefully selected family-friendly books that engage and promote imagination and learning. Additionally, hundreds of titles are available as in-app eBooks; however, some titles may require you to read aloud from your own copy.

To use Novel Effect, simply find the book you want to read out loud by searching or browsing through the collections. Then, tap the cover and choose whether you’ll be reading from a print book or an eBook. Start reading aloud when you hear the chime and listen as the music and sounds respond to your voice, enhancing the story.

Novel Effect has received positive reviews from notable sources such as Shark Tank, The TODAY Show, Forbes, Variety, and Lifehacker. Users have shared their experiences, highlighting how the app made storytelling come alive and motivated reluctant readers.
