A Few Words About Me

My name is Mykola Orlenko. I'm building SonikaAI and use it myself in my day-to-day work. I live and work in Germany.

How It All Started

At some point, I needed to find a few books for learning. They were available in English, but I had to either read them quickly or listen to them. Doing this in the original language was difficult and took far more time than I had.

A few years ago, this kind of task felt almost impossible. Good translation and natural-sounding narration were either very expensive or awkward to use. Often the result was a robotic voice that was hard to listen to for more than a few minutes.

When the Idea of SonikaAI Took Shape

As modern AI models became available, things began to change. Translations improved, and voices started to sound more natural. At the same time, a new problem emerged: to actually use these tools, you had to rely on several different services and deal with their interfaces, formats, and limitations.

My wife works in the public sector and regularly needs to translate documents, materials, and everyday communication. Watching her work, I realized that translation challenges are not limited to education — they appear in many other fields as well. This made it clear to me that SonikaAI can be useful in real, everyday situations.

That's when the idea of SonikaAI took shape — one service where translation, narration, and document work come together. Without having to assemble tools by hand.

Who I'm Building SonikaAI For

SonikaAI is for people who want to read or listen to books and documents in a language that feels natural — without unnecessary technical hassle.

It's a tool I use myself and keep developing step by step — for readers, authors, students, teachers, public-sector workers, and anyone who works with multilingual materials.
