Three handwritten lines in blue ballpoint on lined paper, with a word underlined and a correction inserted above the line.
A page from the first person to use StoryRoom.

In 1970 I lived and worked in Kandy. My place of work was about six miles or so from Kandy town.

The same three lines, as StoryRoom read them.

StoryRoom reads the working draft rather than the clean copy, and turns handwriting, dictation and typing into one story you can edit and publish — in the writer's own words, not a tidied-up version of them.

What it does

  • Reads the working draft, not the clean copy. The marked-up page an editor would read, rather than a page that has already been tidied for a scanner.
  • Keeps the author's voice, and their edits. Nothing is silently rewritten or improved. You get your sentences back, not better ones.
  • Makes one story from three ways of working. Handwritten, spoken and typed sections sit in a single piece and reorder however you like.
  • Shows what it costs. Every reading reports its own cost, in cents, inside the product — no guessing what you are spending.
  • Nothing is thrown away. Every version of a reading is kept — the machine's and yours — so correcting a page never destroys what came before it.
The StoryRoom editor mid-read: a story's sections on the left with buttons to record, add text or add handwriting; on the right, two photographed pages and a message that the handwriting is being read.
Three ways into the same story, and a page being read. You can leave notes for the next pass, and keep both the original reading and your corrected version.

What it costs

You buy credit before you read, and nothing recurs — no subscription, no monthly minimum, nothing to remember to cancel. Every reading shows what it cost as it finishes.

  • Your first page is free. One page, read once, so you can see what StoryRoom makes of your handwriting before you spend anything.
  • Top up from US$10. Card payments go through Stripe, charged in US dollars.
  • A page costs from about 6 US cents. Heavily corrected pages cost more, and so does the close look we take for small crossings-out. Every reading shows its own price.
  • Credit never expires. Stop whenever you like: unused credit comes back on request, less the card-processing fee — see refunds.

Card top-ups open together with public signup. Until then, access is by invitation.

Getting access

StoryRoom has been running on AWS since August 2026. It is in private beta while we work with our first authors — a retired English lecturer writing a memoir in longhand, and the people whose pages are hardest to read.

If you write by hand, or you have a parent, a teacher or an archive whose pages are sitting in a drawer, write to info@wisgen.ai and we will get you in.
