Question 1

Should I generate images and audio for the whole book at once?

Accepted Answer

We recommend generating just a few chapters ahead rather than the entire book — especially for a new book you're not sure you'll stick with. This way you only spend credits on chapters you actually read.

Question 2

Can I generate content while I'm not reading?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and we recommend it. Generation runs on our servers in the background, so you can queue up chapters and come back when they're ready. No need to keep the app open.

Question 3

What's a good generation workflow?

Accepted Answer

A pattern that works well: generate a few chapters before bed so they're ready for your reading session. While reading, queue up a few more for tomorrow. This keeps content ahead of your reading position without over-committing credits on a book you might set aside.

Question 4

I'm about to drive — can I prepare audio ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Generate audio for a few chapters before you head out and they'll be downloaded and ready to listen offline. Great for commutes, walks, or any time you want to switch from reading to listening.

Question 5

Any tips for getting the best experience with a new book?

Accepted Answer

Start with 2–3 chapters of images and audio to see if the book clicks. Generation and analysis happen in the background, so kick them off and check back later. Once you're hooked, stay a few chapters ahead — you'll always have content waiting when you're ready to read or listen.

Question 6

What files can I import into Bookworm?

Accepted Answer

Bookworm supports DRM-free EPUB files. Files from Apple Books and Kindle are typically DRM-protected and will not import.

Question 7

What happens after I import a book?

Accepted Answer

Bookworm analyzes your book and then you can generate illustrations with credits. Imported books appear in your library immediately.

Question 8

What languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

English has been thoroughly tested. Other languages can work, but AI-generated results may vary.

Question 9

What is the Glossary?

Accepted Answer

It is an auto-generated encyclopedia of characters, locations, and world elements. It respects reading progress to help avoid spoilers, with an option to reveal everything.

Question 10

Can I turn off glossary highlighted words in the reader?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Inside the reader settings, toggle off Glossary Links any time.

Question 11

Are chapter summaries and quotes available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both can be enabled or disabled in reader companion settings.

Question 12

How does pricing work for image generation?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is credit-based. Chapter generation cost depends on major point count and your selected quality tier.

Question 13

Why are there four quality tiers?

Accepted Answer

The app continuously evaluates AI models. Four tiers let you pick the quality, speed, and cost balance that fits your book and budget.

Question 14

Can I use multiple styles or tiers in the same book?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can mix styles and quality tiers chapter-by-chapter.

Question 15

What are regenerations and variants?

Accepted Answer

Variants are alternative visual interpretations of the same scene. You can browse and vote, and use regenerations when needed.

Question 16

What are curated styles?

Accepted Answer

Curated styles are hand-picked art styles crafted for specific books or genres. They use reference images to ensure every generated illustration matches a consistent visual identity — like having a dedicated illustrator for your book.

Question 17

Why do curated styles cost more?

Accepted Answer

Curated styles use advanced reference image matching to replicate a specific art style accurately across every chapter. This extra processing ensures visual consistency but requires a more capable model, which is why they're priced at the Premium tier level.

Question 18

What is audio narration?

Accepted Answer

Bookworm generates full audiobook narration for any chapter using AI text-to-speech. Audio syncs with your reading position so you can listen while you follow along.

Question 19

How is audio priced?

Accepted Answer

Audio is credit-based with two components: a base cost per chapter plus a variable cost based on chapter length. Longer chapters cost more.

Question 20

How many narrator voices are available?

Accepted Answer

Five voices: Eve (energetic), Ara (warm, default), Rex (confident), Sal (smooth), and Leo (authoritative). Pick whichever voice you prefer — any voice works great with any book.

Question 21

Does the narration sound natural?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The AI narration adapts its delivery to dialogue, inner monologue, and descriptive passages. It handles character speech, tone shifts, and pacing naturally.

Question 22

Can I change voices between chapters?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each chapter audio purchase lets you pick a voice independently, so you can experiment or match narration tone to the content.

Question 23

Does audio sync with reading?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The audio player includes a mini-player that follows your reading position and can be controlled from the reader toolbar.

Question 24

Can I listen offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once generated, audio chapters are downloaded to your device and available offline.

Question 25

Will my books sync to another device?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your library syncs through cloud account sign-in, and books can be downloaded on your other device.

Question 26

How do I get more credits?

Accepted Answer

Top up anytime from wallet or the website. Credits are used for generation, variants, and custom highlight images.

Question 27

Is there a subscription?

Accepted Answer

No. The app is free to download and uses a pay-for-usage credit model.
