Turn your book into an audiobook edition — AI narration, honestly labeled and priced per minute

This service uses AI narration — and we say so everywhere. Your audiobook is produced with text-to-speech voices, not a human narrator. Stores that accept AI narration label it for listeners (Spotify adds a disclosure line to your listing; Amazon's Virtual Voice titles are clearly labeled), and we never present AI narration as human. Amazon's KDP policy also requires authors to disclose AI-generated content when publishing — we'll walk you through exactly what to declare. If you want human narration for Audible, we'll tell you honestly what that route involves instead of selling around it.

Where your AI audiobook can go

| Channel | Our AI files accepted? | The honest conditions | | --- | --- | --- | | Google Play Books | Yes | Auto-narrated audiobooks; portable MP3s. The title must stay on sale on Google Play in every country where you sell the files elsewhere, and the Google Play price must not be higher than elsewhere. | | Spotify | Yes | A mandatory AI-narration disclosure label is added to your listing; the title is not shared to Spotify's referral partners. | | Your own website / direct sales | Yes | Sell the MP3s directly to readers — no platform conditions. | | Apple Books | Not our files | Apple produces its own free "digital narration" via distributors such as Draft2Digital, Ingram CoreSource, or PublishDrive — English-only, limited genres, typically 1–2 months. We can prepare your eBook file for that pipeline. | | Audible / Amazon | Not our files | ACX prohibits unauthorized text-to-speech, AI, or automated recordings. Amazon's own sanctioned routes all run inside Amazon: your own free KDP Virtual Voice (invite-only US beta inside your own KDP account — clearly labeled, no audio export; we can advise, never operate it for you), human narration via ACX, or the narrator-owned ACX Narrator Voice Replicas beta (invite-only, US-only). None of these lets an outside vendor deliver AI audio files to Audible. |

What it costs

$20 setup + $0.198/minute (Basic voice) or $0.396/minute (Ultra voice), minimum project $33. Minutes come from one formula — your word count ÷ 150 — and every example on this page is computed from it. A 50,000-word book is about 333 minutes: $86.00 with a Basic voice, $152.00 with an Ultra voice. For scale: human studio narration runs roughly $200–$400+ per hour of narration, per industry cost guides. That's a different product — a human performance — and if it's what your book needs, the ACX route above is the honest way to get it. Final pricing may vary based on project complexity and specific requirements.

Is there an audience for audio?

More than half of U.S. adults have listened to an audiobook (Edison Research / APA consumer research). We handle manuscripts from short guides to 200,000+ words — longer books simply price linearly per minute, with no tier jumps.

Frequently asked questions

Can you get my AI audiobook onto Audible?

No — no third-party vendor route exists, so no outside service honestly can. ACX (Audible's production platform) prohibits unauthorized AI or text-to-speech recordings. Amazon's own sanctioned AI paths all run inside Amazon: your own free KDP Virtual Voice (invite-only US beta inside your KDP account — we can advise, but there's no file for anyone to deliver) and the narrator-owned ACX Narrator Voice Replicas beta (invite-only, US-only); human narration through ACX remains the non-AI route. If a company promises "AI narration for Audible," ask them which Amazon-sanctioned path they mean — none of them accepts audio files from an outside vendor.

Will listeners know it's AI narration?

On platforms that label it, yes: Spotify adds a disclosure line, and Amazon's Virtual Voice titles are clearly labeled. We think that's how it should be — we price AI narration like AI narration and never pass it off as human.

What will my book cost?

Compute it yourself: (your word count ÷ 150) × the per-minute rate, plus the $20 setup, with a $33 project minimum. A 50,000-word book is about 333 minutes: $86.00 with a Basic voice, $152.00 with an Ultra voice. Final pricing may vary based on project complexity and specific requirements.

Is there a length limit?

No practical one: we handle manuscripts from short guides to 200,000+ words. Longer books simply price linearly per minute — no tier jumps.

Can I get a custom voice?

Custom voice options are available — ask us. We'll confirm the licensing terms (including consent and exclusivity scope) for your specific project before you commit.

A clean EPUB is the narration input — interior formatting gets you there. Book Cover Design adapts your cover for square audio artwork, and an Author Website gives you the direct-sales channel that AI audio is honestly built for.
