Azizan (azizan.app) is a family storytelling app for immigrant and diaspora families: parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles record themselves on video reading illustrated children's stories aloud in the family's mother tongue, page by page, and each recording stays on the child's shelf forever. Real family voices — never AI narration. Persian (Farsi) first.
Founded by Aida Fard. Parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles record themselves on video reading children's stories aloud in the family's mother tongue — page by page. Every recording lands on the child's shelf, forever. Real family voice, not AI narration.
