See it before you download

Listen, ask, and keep reading — in the moments you already have.

Listen

Not an audiobook reading. The book tells its own story.

Ask for the author's point of view, the original voice, a third-person telling, or plain modern words a child would follow. Same book, told the way you want to hear it.

Ask

Audiobooks tell. Miva answers back.

Why did the character do that? What was that foreshadowing? Finish the story, then ask what you actually want to know.

World

From ancient Greek to classical Chinese — told in English.

Homer, Thucydides, Cao Xueqin, Soseki. Works that were never written in English, and many never translated into it. Miva tells you all of them in English.

Instead

A different way to spend the scroll.

Instead of another feed that leaves nothing behind, finish a story you'll still remember next week. Same minutes, something to keep.

Just tell it what you want to hear

Miva's storyteller starts with one line. Here's how people ask — in whichever language they think in.

Storyteller, give me the Odyssey in ten minutes.
Ten years, one man, one sea. I'll take you from Troy to Ithaca — the shipwrecks, the Cyclops, the woman who waited.
Homer, Οδύσσεια
Tell me the story of Sherlock Holmes as if I'm standing in the room.
Baker Street, gaslight, a knock at the door. You're in the chair opposite him as he reads your shoes and knows where you've been.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Who was Nietzsche, really? Tell it like a story.
A young professor who lost his faith, his health, and finally his mind — and wrote the century's most dangerous sentences on the way down.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Read me Monte Cristo from the author's point of view.
I gave him fourteen years in a cell so you would feel every hour of what he does next. Let me tell you how I built his revenge.
Alexandre Dumas
Explain Crime and Punishment to a twelve-year-old.
A poor student thinks some people are allowed to break the rules. He tries it. Then he finds out what it costs to live with yourself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Thucydides trap — where does that phrase come from?
From a war twenty-four centuries ago. Let me tell you what Athens and Sparta actually did, before it became a headline.
Θουκυδίδης
Tell me Pride and Prejudice, but from Darcy's side.
I was rude at a dance and spent the rest of my life paying for it. Here is what I was thinking while she decided she hated me.
Jane Austen
A Christmas Carol — the short version, tonight.
Three ghosts, one night, one man who has run out of excuses. Twenty minutes and you'll have the whole of it.
Charles Dickens
Raconte-moi Les Misérables comme une histoire du soir.
Un pain volé, dix-neuf ans de bagne, et un homme qui passe sa vie à devenir quelqu'un d'autre.
Victor Hugo
Cuéntame el Quijote como si estuviera allí.
Un hombre lee demasiado, decide que el mundo debería ser mejor, y sale a arreglarlo con una lanza.
Miguel de Cervantes

FAQ

What is Miva?

Miva is a reading app that tells you the story — and answers your questions afterwards. Listen to a book like a story, then ask about the characters, the plot, or anything you're curious about.

Is this just an audiobook?

No. Audiobooks are one-way. With Miva you can stop and ask — why a character acted that way, what a passage meant, what era it belongs to. The answers come from the book itself.

The book has never been translated into my language. Can I still listen?

Yes. That's the point. Miva tells you the story in English even when no English edition exists — from Greek tragedy to Japanese fiction.

Are the answers made up?

No. Every answer is grounded in the book's own text, so you can keep asking and always trace it back to the source.

Do I need an account to try it?

No. You can hear your first story without signing up. It's free to start.

What is it called in the App Store?

Search for "Miva BookAI" — that's the full name on the App Store. Searching "Miva" alone returns other apps.
