Everything in one studio
A production team, built into the browser
From messy manuscript to finished audiobook — every step that usually takes a studio, handled for you.
Book preparation
Clean OCR slips, drop running heads and page numbers, and get accurate chapters — your text is narration-ready before a single word is spoken.
Pronunciation intelligence
Names, places, and uncommon terms said right. A pronunciation studio surfaces every tricky word so you can review and correct it in seconds.
AI narration director
Set the tone and style; the director shapes pacing, emphasis, and delivery chapter by chapter — so it sounds performed, not read.
Dialogue-aware voices
Detects dialogue and shapes delivery around it, so conversations land with character instead of a flat monotone.
Bring your own TTS
Use OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Cartesia, Fish, or Kokoro — with our credits or your own provider keys. Your voices, your rates.
Cost optimization
See the exact price before you generate and compare voices side by side, so you pick the sound that fits your budget.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about turning your book into an audiobook.
What file formats can I turn into an audiobook?
Upload a PDF, EPUB, or a plain-text manuscript. AudiobookStudio detects the chapters automatically and lets you review and edit them before any narration is generated.
How much does it cost?
Preparing a book and previewing any voice is free. Finished audiobooks start at $19/month (about 10 hours of audio per month) on the Creator plan; the Professional plan adds more hours and lets you bring your own text-to-speech keys.
Which AI voices can I use?
Premium voices from ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Cartesia, and Fish Audio, plus free on-device Kokoro voices. You can preview any voice on your own book before you generate the full audiobook.
What audio files can I download?
A single combined MP3, a chaptered M4B with embedded chapter markers (for Apple Books and audiobook players), a ZIP of per-chapter MP3s, and a chapter-list text file with the start time of every chapter in the full audiobook.
Is it suitable for self-publishing an audiobook?
Yes. The per-chapter MP3 export is ready for PublishDrive, and the M4B carries chapter markers, so your files are formatted for the major audiobook distributors.
Can I use my own text-to-speech account?
On the Professional plan you can bring your own TTS provider API keys and generate audio at your provider's own rates.
Do I need to install any software?
No. AudiobookStudio runs entirely in your web browser — there is nothing to download or install.
