Sleep Story Scripts & Chapter Planner

A calm story script that runs the length you asked for

You get text, not audio: the script, chapter timestamps and the publishing text for a sleep story video or podcast. You read it yourself or paste it into a voice tool.

A sleep story script has two jobs: run long enough, and never jolt the listener. Both are hard to judge by eye. The script estimates the read-aloud length from the reading pace (about 115-125 words a minute by default, or characters per second for Japanese - you can set your own), and the story is lengthened or trimmed until it lands within 7% of your target.

Every paragraph is checked against calm-writing rules: no exclamation marks, no "suddenly", no shouting or bangs, nothing frightening for children, hard historical events kept brief and out of the ending. In true stories, no words are put in a real person's mouth.

What it looks like

A real run of the sample "A Quiet Night in the Beech Forest" (adult nature story, 10-minute target): the chapters with their start times, the calm-writing check, and the facts the story contains, ready to verify.

What you send

• A topic and a length in minutes (10 to 60; Japanese up to 45 per run)
• (optional) child bedtime or adult; fiction, history or nature; language; your voice's pace

What you get (text files)

• script.txt - the story to read aloud or paste into a voice tool, in chapters
• chapters.csv and a YouTube chapter list with timestamps (estimated from the pace; re-time from your final audio)
• youtube.txt - three title options and a calm description with the chapter list
• facts_to_check.csv - every sentence with a date, number, name or other checkable claim, with a column to tick
• story.md - the overview: estimated length, pace, chapters, check results

What it does not do

• It records no narration or audio, adds no music, makes no video, and posts nothing.
• It does not fetch sources - you verify the fact list. It does not retell copyrighted books or existing characters.
• It does not treat insomnia or any sleep problem, and does not promise that anyone will fall asleep. It writes a story.
