Voice cloning + pronunciation dictionary + scanned page OCR + ACX output

Everything you need to publish
a professional audiobook

Upload your manuscript. Pick a voice — or clone your own. Download ACX-ready files. No studio, no narrator, no post-production.

Clone your voice

Narrate your entire book without recording a word

Upload a 10-second voice sample. Our AI learns your tone, cadence, and inflection, then narrates every chapter in your voice. Your readers hear you — not a generic AI.

  • 10-second sample is all you need
  • Works with any accent or language
  • Indistinguishable from studio recording

Pronunciation dictionary

No other platform has this

Character names, places, technical terms — AI voices mangle them. Add word-by-replacement pairs before you generate, and every instance is pronounced exactly how you want. No re-recording, no editing audio.

  • "Hermione" → "Her-MY-oh-nee" — fixed before generation
  • Case-insensitive, catches every instance
  • Saved per book, reusable across chapters

Flat pricing that makes sense for books

  • Free: 1 book/month + 1 voice clone trial
  • Pro: $19.99/mo, 3 books/month
  • Studio: $39.99/mo, 10 books/month
  • Lifetime: $297 one-time, 10 books/month

Smart chapter detection

Upload your file and chapters are split automatically

Our parser detects chapter headings, Roman numerals, and part markers automatically — including skipping table of contents, copyright pages, and index sections. Review and adjust before generating.

  • Auto-detects Chapter 1, Chapter I, PART ONE, etc.
  • Skips ToC, copyright, and index pages
  • Select or deselect chapters before generating
