The QR and the 5 steps

One QR in your book, five steps, a living chapter.

A QR code in your book opens every chapter on the phone, with your voice reading it, your video and your offer right where it fits. You see who reads, where they stop, and what they click.

One physical product becomes an ongoing digital relationship.

How it works

A QR code in the printed page opens the living one.

Add video and audio to your printed book with nothing to reprint and nothing to install. Your readers already know how to scan a QR code.

  1. Step 1: Your QR, in your style.

    A QR in your brand colours, with your logo, ready to print. And one QR per channel, so you know where your readers come from.

    • Your colour, or back to your brand colour in one click Your colour, or back to your brand colour in one clickType any colour. A very light one can fail to scan, so scan it with your phone before anything goes to print.
    • Your logo in the middle
    • Download it as a PNG at print resolution
    • A tracked link and QR for every channel A tracked link and QR for every channelInstagram, your newsletter, an event: each gets its own link, and your analytics show which one brought each reader.

  2. Step 2: Your QR goes in the book

    On the copyright page, at the end of a chapter, or on a sticker for copies already printed. In your digital edition and on social media it's a link.

  3. Step 3: The reader scans it

    With the phone's own camera. The book opens in the browser, in seconds, with no app and no account to create first.

  4. Step 4: The chapter comes alive

    Your narration (6 AI voices to choose from), your video, an exercise, and the offer that belongs in that chapter.

  5. Step 5: You earn twice.

    From the printed copy you already sell, and from the living book inside it. Sell the living book as a digital copy, or give it away and build a list of readers who chose to hear from you. Your course, your call or your next book then sells from inside the chapter.

Build your interactive book

From a still book to a living one, in minutes.

Three steps. No designer and no developer.

  1. Upload your PDF or DOCX.

    Your manuscript, as it is.

  2. Analyze the manuscript.

    The AI finds the chapters and shows you a preview first.

    Read more

    You choose: titles true to your manuscript (Match Chapter) or new titles made for an interactive book (Creative Interactive); the full text, or a shorter rewrite that reads well on a phone. Then "Apply structure to book".

  3. Bring every chapter to life.

    Video, audio, your offers and a practice timer.

    Read more

    Video: a file, or a YouTube or Vimeo link. Audio: upload it, record it in your own voice, or have the AI narrate it in one of 6 voices. Then your offers and a practice timer.

    Quizzes inside the chapter: coming soon.

Even when the video lives on YouTube or Vimeo, your reader stays inside your chapter. It plays right there, with no trip to another site.

Questions

Where does the QR code go?
On a page of your printed book. The reader scans it and the chapter opens on their phone, with your voice, your video and your offer.
Do readers need an app?
No. The chapter opens in the phone's browser, with no app and no account needed to start reading.
Do I have to reprint my book?
The code has to be on the page, so it goes into your next printing. Until then you can share the link to the same book.
