For authors and small publishers
Review your manuscript, choose an AI voice and download mastered audio with export packages for supported audiobook stores.
How it works
Review the extracted manuscript before narration. Audition a voice on your own chapter. VoicedBook compares the narration with your text, retakes passages that drift, then prepares the audio for export.
PDF, EPUB or Word. The structure analysis finds front matter, chapters and back matter, and drops running headers, page numbers and footnote markers.
Chapter text is extracted, checked against the pages and editable before a single word is read. Fix a name, add a pronunciation, skip a section.
Thirty voices, three paces, delivery notes, in English, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese with a native accent. Hear any voice on your own chapter before you commit; auditions are free.
Every passage is transcribed and compared with your text; anything that drifts is retaken automatically. You listen chapter by chapter and can record any single line again.
Loudness, peaks, room tone and file lengths to the common audiobook spec. MP3 chapters, M4B and WAV masters.
Export packages for Spotify for Authors, Google Play Books and Kobo, with the AI narration declaration each store asks for. Or send readers, reviewers or a publisher a private listening link.
Voices
Each sample is a short passage in that voice. Inside the app you audition any of them on your own chapter, free.
Fiction and series
Give your characters their own voices while the narrator tells the story, and teach the narrator your names once for the whole series.
Pricing
Pay $3 per 1,000 manuscript words for the initial narration, including analysis, auditions, automated checks, mastering and export packages. You see the price before you start. If you edit a chapter after narration, re-narrating that chapter is a separate charge.
Done for you
Upload your book and tell us about the voices. We clean up the text, cast the narrator and a voice for each character, set how names are said, narrate, listen through every chapter, retake what needs it, master the audio and build the store packages. A 90,000-word novel is $630.
Fair use: included jobs are capped at 10 manuscript analyses and 30 auditions per day. Prices in US dollars.
Where you can publish
Narration is AI-generated and delivered disclosed: every finished file is labelled, and the export packages carry the declaration each store asks for. You upload through your own retailer accounts, and each retailer applies its current review and eligibility requirements.
Recording an audiobook yourself? The free audiobook file checker tests your MP3 or WAV files against the ACX specs in your browser.
Questions
Narration runs at roughly three times real time, chapter by chapter, plus the verification passes. A ten-hour novel is usually ready the same day; you get an email when it finishes.
Add the word to the book's pronunciation dictionary on the Voice page with a plain respelling, like VEL-mont for Velmont. Only the passages that contain it are narrated again. Save it to your pronunciation library and the next book starts with it. The verbatim check catches skipped or changed words automatically.
Yes. Find speakers marks who says each quoted line and gives each main character a studio voice; you can change any of them or use one of your cloned voices. The narrator keeps the narration, and the price per word does not change.
English, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese, each with a native accent, at the same price per word. The language is detected from your manuscript, and you can pick the accent: Spain or Latin America, France or Canada, Brazil or Portugal, US or UK. Dialogue written with dashes or guillemets gets character voices too. Audiobooks in other languages.
Yes. On the Review page, pick the sentences you want recorded again and add a short direction if you like, such as slower or quieter. Only those sentences are replaced, at the narration rate for their words with a minimum of $0.10, and the previous take is kept so you can switch back. How to fix one line.
Yes. On the Export page, make a private listening link for the whole book, a 5-minute sample or a voice audition. Anyone with the link listens in the browser without an account or a download button. Links can end after 7 or 30 days, show how often they were opened and can be turned off at any time. They are included in the price. How to send audiobook ARCs.
