Whispers in the Fog
“The lamp gutters out. Somewhere below the bridge, something in the dark has learned your name.”
Test Will (3). If you fail, take 1 horror.
Coming soon to iPhone
Every card deserves a narrator.
Point your phone at any card, rulebook passage or storybook paragraph, and Herald reads it aloud like a voice actor: an ominous whisper for a horror event, a booming herald for a quest, a gruff innkeeper for a tavern encounter.
Coming soon to theApp Store
No companion app needed. Works with the games already on your shelf.
Snap. Choose. Listen.
Most of the story in your games never gets read aloud. Herald turns it into a short performance the whole table hears, so the person reading gets to play too.
I
Snap the card
On-device text recognition reads the card in a moment, offline and private. Crop to just the flavor text if you want to skip the rules.
II
Pick a voice and mood
Choose a narrator persona and a delivery style: dramatic, ominous, calm or urgent. You can save a favorite combination for each game.
III
Let it perform
Hear the narration over an optional ambience bed, route it to the table speaker, and replay any card when someone asks what it said.
A cast of narrators
Each persona is built for a different kind of story.
Epic Herald · quests & proclamations
Eerie Whisperer · horror & dread
Grizzled Storyteller · taverns & trails
Cheerful Bard · lighter tales
Cold AI · sci-fi terminals
Villain · your doom, savored
Made for story-heavy games like Arkham Horror, Gloomhaven, Tainted Grail, Sleeping Gods, Betrayal and Dead of Winter. It also helps players with low vision or dyslexia.
The herald is on the way
Herald is in development for iPhone. A free tier with on-device voices is planned, with an optional upgrade for the full cast of expressive narrators.
