Read the evidence and sources

NULLPEN Reader 01 and Reader 02 are disclosed synthetic house voices, rendered once per approved script on NULLPEN’s own equipment and served as fixed recordings. Playback is user initiated; a correction withdraws the affected recording. Your narrator and topic choices stay in this browser.

Device voice is synthetic speech using an installed English voice, not NULLPEN Reader 01 or 02. No NULLPEN model API or paid speech-generation call. A topic change stops the previous queue. House recordings, when available, remain separately rights-checked.
