In their own words
Narrated Novels
Narrated Novels turns uploaded books into audiobooks with premium AI voices or a cloned voice. Its processing detects chapters, optimizes manuscript formatting, and prepares text for narration. Users can select from more than 100 professional voices with different accents, tones, and speaking styles, or upload samples to create a custom narrator based on their own voice or a preferred voice actor. The service says it can generate hours of audio in minutes, and finished audiobooks can be shared directly to social media. Starter is free with 5,000 characters per month, 20+ premium voices, MP3-only export, and basic support. Professional costs $29 a month and includes 100,000 characters, 100+ voices, all listed export formats, two custom voice clones, and priority support. Enterprise costs $99 a month with 500,000 characters, unlimited voices, 10 clones, API access, and dedicated support.
