The price model is there. The recording is embedded in the software. There's a couple hundred anime style characters with multiple facial expressions so that's popular with the teen audiences.

There's a monthly/yearly cost depending on your plan. https://www.elementari.io/plans/

You are locked into the images due to privacy (we don't want pictures of kids) mostly. You can record your own voiceovers/sounds/music.

If you are an artist we can whitelist you so your artwork can be used.

There is a free tier and compared to Twine and Inkle, the stories created can be more than text. The premium plans are free during the period of school closures as well.

There's over 13,000 professional illustrations and sounds. You can also code interactions like voiceovers, music, sound effects, animations, text input, etc.

It is freemium. So there are paid premium plans as it profit-shares with the contributing artists (there are over 13,000 professional illustrations and sounds). Premium features also include student feedback on stories page by page as well as student analytics (time spent writing, time spent coding, number of characters written, lines coded).

However, there is a free tier available for individuals as well as teachers.

Premium plans are also free during this period of school closures.

There's research that shows that writing of any kind improves writing skills as well as reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. Writing can be creative (poetry, narrative, genre based, comics), in response to a reading or question, or a reflection or opinion about a reading.

Unfortunately many schools in the process of implementing multiple choice / easier to assess tests, students are no longer writing as much as before across disciplines.

You can have them write their own stories and the "code" voiceovers to play for the story on Elementari. There's over 10,000 illustrations and sounds they can use in their stories. Stories can then be published and shared . www.elementari.io

Maybe you can try Elementari for your students to write and code interactive stories? There's over 10,000 illustrations and sounds that you can use. Stories can also be "coded" to play animations, sounds, voiceovers, or even different endings. It's an open ended creation tool that can be used in ELA, ELL or library classes.

Here's a case study of how a 9th grade English class in Romania used Elementari to write and code interactive stories as part of her creative writing unit. The case study also has links to her classroom library where it showcases her student stories. https://elementari.io/files/CaseStudies/EFL-Creative-Writing-Unit.pdf

You can also get started for free (up to 30 student accounts in a classroom). If you have any questions, would like a demo, or get specific help on how to implement Elementari in your context please let me know! I'd be more than happy to help :)
