, (Seoul = News1) Reporter Yoon Joo-young = The reading platform Millie’s Library (418470) announced on the 5th that it would introduce new services in response to technology trends such as multi-devices and artificial intelligence (AI).
,
, “First, an AI chatbot named ‘AI Dokpaming’ will be introduced to digital books to help readers acquire background knowledge. The chatbot not only facilitates real-time conversations but also connects users to relevant original pages for efficient and in-depth reading.”,
,
, “This service is scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2025. It will start by informing users of the most relevant text passages in response to their queries, with plans for gradual enhancement.”,
,
, “The ‘Millie Pairing’ service supports seamless reading across various environments, including print books, e-books, vehicles, audiobooks, and AI text-to-speech (TTS). It was launched with an app update on the 4th of this month.”,
,
, “Previously, users had to manually locate passages when switching from audiobooks to e-books, but Millie Pairing alleviates this hassle. It allows readers to switch between ‘reading mode’ and ‘listening mode’, and the current reading position is automatically synchronized.”,
,
, “While listening to audiobooks, users can connect to car audio to listen in vehicles. Desired e-books can be easily found through barcode recognition of print books, and page searches allow users to continue reading from specific points.”,
,
, “The writing mode supports free writing on platforms including PDF and the global e-book standard, ePub. Users can choose from pen, fountain pen, and highlighter styles, and all records are saved separately for later reference.”,
,
, “Additional features include a ‘Reading Record’ service for integrated management of online and offline reading activities, ‘My Library’ to store books of personal interest, bookshelf-sharing functionality, and a ‘Reading Calendar’ to display monthly reading status.”,
,
, “During a press conference, Park Hyun-jin, CEO of Millie’s Library, stated, ‘We aim to become a game changer in the reading market, beyond merely leading the e-book subscription market. We will focus on linking reading with everyday life in this multi-device era.'”,
,
, “He continued, ‘We will expand the connection experience, content domain, and business domain of our services.'”
