Audiobook narration

Narrate the whole book in one voice.

Generate each chapter with the same voice and settings, replace a single passage when the manuscript changes, and keep a lossless master of every take.

Change one passage, keep the rest.

BeforeA late manuscript edit means regenerating, or rerecording, the entire chapter around it.

  3. Correct

    Fix a mispronounced name once in your pronunciation dictionary, then regenerate only the affected sections.

Why it works for audiobook narration

One narrator from chapter one to the epilogueEvery section of a chapter is generated with the voice and settings you selected, so the narrator does not drift in tone or pace between sections. Listeners of a ten-hour book notice a change of voice far more than they notice any single sentence.
Names and invented words, read the same way every timeFantasy names, place names, and technical terms are where text to speech most often stumbles. Add the spelling you want to your pronunciation dictionary once and every later generation uses it, including sections you regenerate months after the first draft.
Masters you can take into your own mastering chainExports are loudness-normalized to -16 LUFS, a common streaming and video target. Audiobook retailers publish their own loudness and noise-floor specifications, so on Creator and above you can export lossless WAV or FLAC and master each chapter to the specification your distributor asks for.
Check your distributor's policy firstRetailers set their own rules for AI-narrated titles, and those rules change. Confirm what your distributor accepts before you produce the full book. Paid plans include commercial use of the audio you generate; the Free plan is for evaluation only.

Questions before you start.

Yes. Generate each chapter as its own script with the same voice and settings, and the narrator stays consistent from the first chapter to the last.

Regenerate only the section that contains the change. The rest of the chapter is reused and the timed SRT is rebuilt from the final audio.

Every plan exports MP3. Creator and above add lossless WAV and FLAC, which give you a clean master to process for your distributor's specification.

Paid plans include commercial use of the audio you generate. Retailers set their own policies for AI-narrated titles, so confirm your distributor accepts them before publishing.
