# Papiro

> An open platform and hardware ecosystem for interactive printed materials. A pen that makes any printed page speak.

Papiro is building the first open platform for AI-powered interactive books and printed materials. Using a WiFi-connected pen with an infrared camera, users tap printed pages to trigger audio — narration, music, AI conversations, multilingual translations, and more. Unlike closed systems like TipToi, anyone can create and publish interactive content using Papiro's AI-powered web editor.
