# Voctale – Full documentation > Multilingual interactive audiobook platform where listener choices shape the story. ## Platform overview Voctale is a multilingual (Italian, French, English) publisher of interactive audiobooks. Unlike traditional audiobooks, interactive titles feature branching narratives: at key moments in the story, listeners choose what happens next, leading to different paths and multiple possible endings. Voctale also publishes linear audiobooks, podcasts and multi-volume series. ## Content types - **Interactive audiobooks** – branching narratives with choice points and multiple endings. - **Linear audiobooks** – traditional sequential storytelling with auto-play between scenes. - **Podcasts** – episodic series with scheduled releases. - **Series and sagas** – multi-volume audiobook works organised by reading order. - **Editorial blog** – articles, category and tag archives. ## Languages Italian, French, English. Every content page is available under a locale-prefixed URL and every page emits `hreflang` links pointing to its sibling translations. ## Available genres - Fantasy - Thriller, Mystery & Crime - Horror - Science fiction - Poetry - Adventure - Romance & Relationships - Children & Fairy Tales - Culture - Others - Fiction & Drama - Educational ## Discovery - Homepage feed: https://voctale.com - Full catalog: https://voctale.com/audiobooks - Podcast index: https://voctale.com/podcasts - Series index: https://voctale.com/series - Authors directory: https://voctale.com/authors - Blog: https://voctale.com/blog - Blog category archives: `/blog/categories/{slug}` (EN/FR), `/blog/categorie/{slug}` (IT) - Blog tag archives: `/blog/tags/{slug}` (EN), `/blog/etichette/{slug}` (IT), `/blog/etiquettes/{slug}` (FR) - Audio genre pages: `/genres/{slug}` (EN/FR), `/generi/{slug}` (IT) - Audio tag pages: `/tags/{slug}` (EN), `/etichette/{slug}` (IT), `/etiquettes/{slug}` (FR) For an exhaustive, always-up-to-date crawl of every public URL (with `lastmod` and `hreflang`), use **https://voctale.com/sitemap.xml** as the authoritative source.

Choices are persisted so listeners can resume, and the story branches until reaching one of several possible endings. Some scenes are linear (auto-advance) and some are choice-driven; the mix is defined by the author. ## Access and pricing - Individual audiobooks can be purchased à la carte. - A premium subscription grants monthly credits that redeem any audiobook. - Some titles are marked free. - Preview scenes are available without purchase or subscription so listeners (and the embed player) can sample a title. - Payment providers: Stripe and PayPal. ## Authors and contributors Authors publish audiobooks on Voctale and earn from purchases and subscription plays. Titles can credit multiple authors and narrators; contributors are shown on the audiobook and author pages and may share earnings. ## Parental controls Parents can create child-safe profiles with a personal PIN. In child mode, content is filtered by minimum-age attributes on genres, tags and individual audiobooks. Preview and playback respect the profile's age rating. ## Embed player Voctale offers a public embeddable audio player for audiobooks that expose a preview scene. Third-party sites can include an `
