AuthorVoices
Marlborough, Massachusetts, United States
What it is
AuthorVoices is a web platform for independent authors creating audiobook narration with curated AI voices. A project can begin from an EPUB or DOCX upload or pasted text. Quick Fix re-narrates a selected passage while keeping surrounding audio, and finished projects export as MP3 or M4B files. Authors may create a private cloned voice from a recording after confirming ownership or written permission. The distribution channel reaches over 50 audiobook retailers, but excludes Audible and Amazon; the terms also say Audible, ACX, and Amazon do not accept third-party AI-narrated audiobooks such as this output. Project-page distribution accepts only books built and exported inside AuthorVoices. New accounts receive 5,000 narration characters plus limited voice previews. Manuscripts remain user-owned and are not used to train AI models. A free plan and trial are available, with paid options from $49.

AuthorVoices provides manuscript-to-audiobook tools, editing, voice options, exports, and a retailer channel. Distribution exclusions and the limits on third-party audiobook acceptance are central considerations.
