Question 1

Why is my child never the god in the story?

Accepted Answer

Because the hero of a katha is the hero, and your child is the friend beside them. Every story on the shelf keeps that line. A child can watch, walk beside, help, or lead the adventure with the hero as a guide, but the deity's place is the deity's.

Question 2

Where do our photos go?

Accepted Answer

Photos are reduced and kept on your device by default. If you explicitly enable likeness for one book, the photo can accompany that book's illustration requests. Suno Katha does not keep a server-side photo library. An illustrated companion works without a photo; the adult edition has no likeness option.

Question 3

Are the stories written by AI?

Accepted Answer

The desk starts from pre-authored house arcs. An optional AI draft can adapt sentences within those boundaries and is checked before use. A failed draft is replaced by the house telling. AI assistance and machine checks do not amount to independent scholarly approval or permission to invent scripture.

Question 4

What is different for a three-year-old?

Accepted Answer

Shorter lines, one idea a page, and no weapons, war, or fear used as a lesson. Some shelves open only from six or nine, and the library says so on the cover.

Question 5

Can we read in our mother tongue?

Accepted Answer

English and Hindi are the starting pair. You can select other mother tongues, but prepared text and narration vary by title. If a requested version is unavailable, the reader can fall back to an available language. Check the actual text and voice in the preview before choosing a book for a particular language.

Question 6

What are the two endings?

Accepted Answer

Some personalised house arcs offer a choice for the companion; both paths preserve the same story and meaning. The 0–3 telling has no branching choice. Do not assume every library book or age edition has two endings: check the preview for that title.

Question 7

Why do most shelves say Opening soon?

Accepted Answer

We paint and record each katha properly before it opens. The shelf plan is public so you can watch a title and hear the day it opens. Your own katha, made at the desk, is ready today.

Question 8

What does Suno Katha+ add?

Accepted Answer

Plus includes 30 book reads and two custom kathas each month; Plus Unlimited includes unlimited book reads and six custom kathas. Paid family plans support up to four children. Check the comparison and each title's availability: planned catalogue entries are not finished books.

Question 9

Can I hold the book in my hands?

Accepted Answer

Personalised kathas have a PDF flow for keeping or printing your own book. Generic library books are read in the house. Softcover and hardcover formats marked Opening soon are waitlists; they are not currently in-stock books with a confirmed delivery date.

Question 10

How does gifting work?

Accepted Answer

Add a dedication and a message at checkout, choose a date, and the book or gift card goes out by email that morning. Grandparents can make the book themselves with a gift card.

Question 11

Is it free for teachers?

Accepted Answer

Educator mode is free and stores up to thirty first-name readers on the classroom device. Use available books for shared reading and the classroom guide for a paper response activity. Children do not need their own accounts or photos; generic library books are not downloadable worksheets.
