LazyDaddy: Scan & Read Books

LazyDaddy is a small tool for parents who read the same favorite books night after night. Take photos, review the recognized text, save each book, and play it back with text-to-speech so you can sit together and enjoy the story.

Storytime made easier

A warm reading routine, even on tired nights

When your voice is worn out or your child asks for the same book one more time, LazyDaddy keeps storytime moving. Photograph the paper book you already own, check the text, and let the app read it aloud in a natural voice.

Review the extracted text, correct recognition mistakes, and save the pages as one book.

3. Listen together

Play the saved book and let TTS read it aloud while you sit beside your child.

Features

Main Features

Camera capture and OCR

On-device Google ML Kit text recognition extracts Korean and English text from book pages.

AI voice reading

Generate and cache natural Korean and English audio with Google Cloud TTS, or use Android built-in TTS for offline reading.

Multiple speakers

Dialogue can be analyzed so narrator and character voices can be configured separately.

Your local bookshelf

Saved storybooks stay on the device, with no account or cloud sync required.

Retake and edit pages

Retake a page or edit recognized text whenever OCR needs a little help.

English storybook support

English OCR and voices help children hear storybooks with clear pronunciation.

Personalized stories

Edit recognized text to add your child's name or adapt a book into your family's own story.

No sign-up required

Start using the app without login, subscription, or a cloud account.

Guided first run and sample audio

From an empty library, hear a Korean or English sample and start with the camera or regular book-creation flow, or continue to the library.

Privacy and Data Safety

  • The camera is used only to capture book pages, and captured images are not uploaded by the app.
  • OCR processing runs on the device.
  • Saved storybook text stays on the device. Required text is sent to Google only to generate new Cloud TTS audio or when the user translates a saved book.
  • Firebase Analytics is enabled by default on a fresh install and can be turned off under Usage analytics in Settings. App-defined events never include book content or photos.
  • Feedback and bug reports open an editable email draft. App, Android, and device diagnostics are sent only when the user sends the message.
  • Exported audio and per-page MP4 files are stored in a device folder chosen and managed by the user.
  • AdMob ads appear after save or edit transitions, not during the reading experience.
  • Collected personal information is not sold to third parties.
