Built on Wikipedia. Giving back to Wikipedia.

How we use Wikipedia

When you pick a topic in AudaStories, we fetch the matching article from Wikipedia, pass it to a language model, and have the model write a script shaped for the length you chose. The script is then narrated by our synthetic voice and streamed to you as audio. Every story links back to the article it came from so you can check the source.

Licensing and attribution

Wikipedia text is licensed CC BY-SA 4.0. Our generated scripts and the audio we produce from them are derivative works, so we release them under the same licence. On every story, in the app and on the website, we show a written attribution to the source article and a link to the licence.

If you want a fuller picture of the licensing, including how we handle Wikimedia Commons images and Wikidata, see the attribution page.

Revenue sharing

We donate 5% of subscription revenue to the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit that hosts Wikipedia. This is paid as a charitable donation; it is not a commercial partnership. We state the per-subscription amount on every paywall and pricing card so you know exactly what is contributed when you subscribe.

If you would like to give to Wikipedia directly rather than (or in addition to) subscribing, you can do so on their site.
