Need help with Sioma?
Find quick answers to common questions about your account, stories, audio, purchases and privacy.
Account & login
Help with signing in, emails and account access.
I can’t sign in
Check that you are using the same sign-in method and email address you used when creating your Sioma account. If needed, use the password-reset option and try again after completing the reset.
I didn’t receive the confirmation or reset email
Wait a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder, and confirm that the email address was entered correctly. Avoid requesting several new emails in quick succession because only the newest link may remain valid.
I forgot my password
Use Forgot password on the sign-in screen. Open the newest reset email and choose a new password, then return to Sioma and sign in again.
My account details are not updating
Close and reopen the relevant profile screen first. If the change still is not visible, sign out and back in once before contacting support.
Stories
Creation, saved stories, deletion and series.
My story is taking longer than expected or creation failed
Story creation can occasionally take longer than usual. Keep the app connected, then return to My Stories and check whether the story appeared there before starting another creation.
I can’t find a story I created
Open My Stories and check your search and filters. Look under favorites, narrated stories, series, topics and languages if a filter is active.
How do I delete a story?
Open the story and use its story actions to delete it. Deleting a story also removes its Sioma narration variants associated with that story.
Can I create another version or continue a story?
Use the available similar-story or series options when they are shown for that story. Series availability can depend on the story and the choices used when it was created.
Audio & downloads
Narration generation, playback and downloaded audio.
My audio is still being generated
Longer narrations can take some time. You can leave the story and return later; check the story again before requesting another narration. When the narration is ready, the listening option becomes available.
Audio won’t play
Confirm that the narration shows as ready, check your connection and device audio, then close and reopen the player once. If downloaded audio is affected, try the in-app version as well.
I can’t download my story audio
Make sure the narration has finished generating before downloading. Also check that your device has available storage and that Sioma has the access required by your Android version to save the file.
How do narrator choice, Loop and Sleep timer work?
Choose an available narrator before or when creating narration. Loop repeats playback, while Sleep timer stops playback automatically after the selected time.
Purchases & subscriptions
Google Play purchases, subscriptions and access.
I paid but my purchase or access is not showing
First verify in Google Play that the purchase completed successfully and that you are signed into Sioma with the expected account. Then reopen Sioma and use the restore-purchase option if available.
How do I restore a purchase?
Use Sioma’s restore-purchase option while signed into the Google Play account that made the purchase. Restoring checks existing Google Play purchases; it does not create a new charge.
How do I manage or cancel my subscription?
Subscriptions purchased through Google Play are managed through Google Play. Open Google Play’s subscriptions area, select Sioma and use the available management or cancellation controls.
I think I was charged twice
Check your Google Play purchase history first and compare the order references. If there are two completed charges for what appears to be the same purchase, contact support and include the relevant Google Play order reference(s), but never send payment-card details.
Privacy & data
Privacy information, data requests and account deletion.
What information does Sioma store?
See the Privacy page for the current description of account, story, narration and technical data used to provide Sioma.
What information is sent to the voice provider?
For narration, Sioma sends the generated story text or required text chunks and the technical settings needed to create the audio. See the Privacy page for the current production data-flow description.
How do I delete my account?
Use the dedicated Account deletion flow. Enter your account email there, verify the request from the email we send, and confirm the deletion on the verification page.
Using Sioma
How the main story, reading and language features work.
What is Quick Start?
Quick Start is the low-effort creation path: choose what you want to hear in the moment and Sioma builds the story suggestion from there. You can optionally fine-tune settings such as length, language, level and perspective.
What is Individual Story?
Individual Story gives you more control across five steps: Story, Mood, Frame, Details and Ready. Most choices remain optional, so Sioma can decide what you leave open.
What is the difference between Read, Listen and Read & Listen?
Read uses Sioma’s focused reader. Listen plays the narration. Read & Listen lets you follow the story text while the narration plays.
Which languages are supported and how does paragraph translation work?
Sioma is designed for stories in 15 supported languages. While reading, translation help can be shown for the paragraph you are on, so you can stay in the story instead of translating the whole page at once.
What do the language levels mean?
The optional language level helps adapt the story language to a CEFR range. Sioma groups the available levels so you can choose an easier, intermediate or more advanced reading experience.
