Give your own book a narrator. VoiceBookify turns your EPUB, PDF or Word book into an AI audiobook with chapters to download, or reads it aloud in your browser right now.
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,” thought Alice “without pictures or conversations?” So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

An AI audiobook is a book narrated by a synthetic voice instead of a person reading in a studio. VoiceBookify makes one from your own book file: it finds the chapters, reads them with one of 40 AI narrators, and hands you an M4B with chapter marks plus one MP3 per chapter.
Keep the files to play anywhere, or start listening in your browser within seconds.
Choose a narrator and VoiceBookify narrates the whole book, then hands you an M4B with chapters and cover for your audiobook app, plus an MP3 for every chapter.
Hear the book read aloud in your browser, one highlighted sentence at a time, and pick up next time where you stopped.
Public domain classics read by VoiceBookify narrators. Press play on any cover.
Three steps from your own file to a finished audiobook, or to listening right away.
Choose a file up to 100 MB, paste a few pages, or try a sample book. VoiceBookify opens it right on your device, with no upload, and shows the chapters, listening time and credits at once, with contents and copyright pages already set aside.

Listening and keeping a file usually mean two different apps. VoiceBookify reads your book once, then hands it to the reader for instant listening or to the maker for files you download and keep.

Everything starts from the text of a book. VoiceBookify opens your file in the browser and splits it into chapters, following the table of contents of an EPUB and the bookmarks or headings of a PDF.
From there, the work follows the order a producer would use:
2 of 9 chapters ready
Some evenings you just want to hear the next few pages. Listen now opens the book in the text to speech reader: browser voices are free and unlimited with no account, the sentence being read stays highlighted, and PDFs come without running headers, page numbers or footnotes, with two-column pages read in order.
A file suits long drives, offline listening and a shelf of your own. The audiobook maker narrates the whole book once, and the result plays in the audiobook app you already use.
One file with chapters
M4B with chapters, for Apple Books and most audiobook players
9 MP3 files
An MP3 per chapter in a ZIP, for publishing
There are 40 narrators in 9 languages: 16 for English, with American, British, Australian and Indian accents from young to older, 6 for Mandarin, and 2 or 3 each for Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Korean. Each has a sample you can play, and the free preview reads the opening of your own book.
Good audiobook AI keeps one voice for the whole book. Your narrator reads every chapter, so it sounds like a single performance from the first page to the last.

IsoldeEasy-going, AmericanThe M4B is a single audiobook file with chapter marks, the cover, and title and author tags, so your player lists every chapter. The ZIP splits the book into MP3 files for a phone, a laptop or a car stereo.
A loudness report comes with every export, and your files stay ready to download again for 30 days.
Stores that accept AI narration ask for two things: the audiobook rights to the book, and a clear label on the narration. Credit the voice the way the audiobook trade does, for example "Narrated by: Sutton (AI Voice)".
Authors who hold those rights can publish the M4B or the MP3s, and the export panel gives you the credit line ready to paste.
Chinese ebooks open the same way, including plain text saved in GBK, and every VoiceBookify tool has a Chinese page too. There are 6 Mandarin narrators, male and female, to read the chapters in a natural voice. Books in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Korean open the same way, with narrators of their own.
For credits, each Chinese, Japanese or Korean character counts as two characters, and the estimate shows the exact total before you start.
Your own manuscripts are the natural fit: export an EPUB from your writing app and the chapter titles come through exactly. Public domain classics and DRM-free ebooks you have the rights to work just as well.
