Audibleđź“’Launches AI Tools to Help Publishers Expand Audiobook Catalogs
Audible is taking a major step forward by introducing AI-generated audiobook narration services for publishers. This new initiative is designed to empower content creators to produce more audiobooks faster and more affordably—without sacrificing listener experience.
Through a self-service AI audiobook production model, publishers can now create narrated content at scale using high-quality synthetic voices. Whether you're a small indie publisher or part of a large media group, Audible’s tools make it easy to access and experiment with this technology.
But that’s not all. Audible is also piloting an AI translation beta program, allowing publishers to create multilingual audiobook productions using AI voices. This opens new doors to international markets and helps authors reach global audiences without needing to record narration in every language from scratch.
For those concerned about authenticity, Audible’s speech-to-speech translation feature helps preserve the narrator’s voice characteristics—even in translated versions—bringing an extra layer of realism and familiarity to foreign-language content.
Ultimately, Audible’s approach allows for flexibility. Publishers can choose between traditional narration or explore the benefits of AI narration for expanding audiobook catalogs. It's not about replacing human voice actors—it's about offering more tools to storytellers.
