AI audiobook creation

Simple narration. Cinematic storytelling. AI-based production shaped around your manuscript.

All narration is AI-generated. Finished audio files are delivered to you — audiobooks are not hosted or streamed on SoundFoundryAI. Voice availability, production capability and rights are checked before a project is accepted.

Indicative starting rates in USD, subject to a written quote. A finished hour is one hour of delivered audio, not an hour of studio work. These are proposed introductory rates, not instant-purchase packages. Production is AI-based; audio files are delivered for you to host and distribute, not hosted on the app.

Planning guide: about 9,300 words per finished hour. A 30,000-word manuscript is roughly 3.2 hours; pacing and pronunciation can change runtime. Final scope, price, delivery target and any taxes are agreed before payment.

Your manuscript, your permission

You must hold audiobook adaptation rights. We use permitted synthetic voices, never artist or celebrity voice clones. Music and sound effects need documented rights for the agreed use.

A scope agreed first

Proposed rates assume a final manuscript and one narrator. Translation, manuscript editing, extra voices, custom scores, extensive effects, manuscript changes and rush requests are quoted separately. No guaranteed delivery dates.

Distribution checked separately

No promise of Audible, ACX, Apple Books or Spotify acceptance. Digital narration may require disclosure and platform-specific approval. Distribution, artwork and marketing are not included.

Tell us about your book

Share your word count, language, genre, preferred listening style and intended distribution. Start with a summary, not your full unpublished manuscript.
