Full transcript

[Sound cue: coffee machine beeps]At 8:57, Sam was halfway out the door when the coffee machine beeped.

He turned back, found his keys beside the mug, and congratulated himself on a remarkably organized morning.

[Sound cue: mug clinks]His mug clinked onto the desk.

[Sound cue: phone chimes]Then his phone chimed.

The online meeting had started.

He took one careful sip, squared his shoulders, and joined the call with an expression of complete professionalism.

His camera was upside down.

Twelve coworkers were politely studying the ceiling.

Shape the delivery with expressive directions and vocal cues

Mark selected passages with expressive directions and add vocal cues where they belong, when supported by your selected narration engine.

Currently supported with xAI only. Performance varies; this recording is an illustrative example.

Delivery

In the directed Orion example, the middle sentence is marked soft and slow, followed by a sigh before the final sentence. The sigh is a vocal cue, not an added sound effect.

Full transcript

The room grew quiet.

[Expressive direction: soft, slow] Take a quiet moment before we continue.

[Vocal cue: sigh] Now we can begin again.

Project Library

Keep your book's files in order

Keep shared reference, pronunciations, media, and effects together in Project Library, with file previews and folders to stay organized.

Project Settings helps keep typography, headings, and narration consistent across your project.

Move or rename files and optionally update supported references in current content. Manuscript prose and saved versions stay unchanged.

Continuity with context

Reference and Guidance lives beside the manuscript

Keep characters, places, terminology, and creative direction close to the work so collaborators and optional agents share the same context.

You approve every proposal

Agents suggest updates to Reference and Guidance. You decide which proposals to accept; agents cannot directly rewrite your manuscript.

Technical and educational writing

Set inline and display math without leaving the editor

Compose equations in context and keep mathematical notation with the surrounding manuscript for ebook output.

Equations are included in EPUB output. Audio previews do not narrate equations.

A workspace that grows with the book

Work independently or invite the right help

Focused collaboration

Organize projects, books, and manuscripts, then bring collaborators into the work you share.

Optional AI

Use agent assistance when it fits your process, or keep writing without it. Proposed changes remain reviewable.

Welcome Project

Explore the Project Library and try narrated examples with expressive directions and vocal cues in the Welcome Project. Follow the guide and help articles to get started.

Questions

Before you begin

How do I get started?

Create an account, open the Welcome Project, and follow the Author Guide from your first manuscript through a short preview.

Do I have to use AI?

No. AI assistance is optional. You can write, organize, collaborate, and prepare outputs without using an agent.

What can BadgerLeaf create?

BadgerLeaf prepares EPUB ebooks and M4B audiobooks from your structured manuscript and selected settings.

Are there usage allowances?

Some features and processing have account allowances. The authenticated Usage and Billing area shows the allowances that apply to your account.

Can BadgerLeaf produce a physical printed book?

Not today. Physical print is a future ambition, with no availability date promised.
