Bindery by Infinite Library
infinitelibrary.ai
What it is
Bindery by Infinite Library turns a book manuscript into an audiobook organized by chapter, using a house narrator or a clone of the author’s voice. Authors can audition George, Lily and Daniel on their own text, with narration available in 74 languages. Voice cloning uses about 30 seconds of recording, requires explicit consent and can be deleted by the author. Authors can publish a storefront with a free first-chapter preview, set listening access at $1.99 to $99.99 and keep 80% of each sale, paid through Stripe. Buyers get chapter navigation, 15- and 30-second jumps, speed control, lock-screen controls, exact resume and a tagged master MP3 download. Private listening links work on phones without an account or installation and can be disabled by the author. The web service has a free plan with 800 AI credits after sign-in and watermarked proofs. One-time credit packs start at $12.00 USD; Bindery Pro is $39 a month or $390 per year. Narration uses 50 credits per 1,000 characters, and credits are shared across the studio.
