The problem

Why authors avoid producing audiobooks

A professional studio narration costs $500 to $3,000 per finished hour and takes four to eight weeks to book. Most self-published authors skip audio entirely and leave a fast-growing revenue stream on the table.

How the software works

Five steps from manuscript to retail

STEP 1

Upload your file

Drop your EPUB or DOCX. The software cleans the text, normalises numbers and abbreviations, and detects chapter breaks automatically.

STEP 2

Choose your voices

Pick a narrator voice from the Studio or Premium library. For fiction, the software detects characters in your prose and assigns each one a distinct, stable voice.

STEP 3

Generate audio

Scene-aware prosody, emotional range and breath pauses are applied per chapter. Each chapter is then mastered to -23 LUFS retail spec.

STEP 4

Preview and approve

Listen to a chapter sample before committing. Swap a voice, adjust pacing or approve and move to packaging.

STEP 5

Download or publish

Download retail-ready files for ACX, KDP, Apple Books, Kobo and Spotify - or let the software publish automatically through your distributor account.

What this software delivers

More than narration software

Most audiobook narration software stops at generating audio. AudioBook Factory is the only tool that continues the chain into podcast and video distribution.

Automatic

Multi-voice casting

A narrator plus a distinct voice per character - detected from your prose, not set manually. The cast stays identical across every chapter and every book in a series.

Studio quality

Retail-spec mastering

Each chapter is normalised, de-noised and mastered to -23 LUFS with a -3 dBTP ceiling - the ACX and KDP standard. No post-processing needed on your side.

Directed

Scene-aware emotion

The narration engine reads context to adjust pacing, tension and warmth. The result is acted delivery, not the flat monotone of a basic TTS reader.

1 to N

Multi-language output

One manuscript becomes audiobooks in English, French, Spanish and German. Each language gets its own retail file set and podcast feed.

Beyond audio

Podcast and video built in

Your audiobook becomes a published podcast feed and a YouTube video at no extra production cost. Chapters become episodes, scheduled and auto-posted.

Anti-lock-in

You keep every right

You own the master files and set your own retail price. Unlike Apple's free AI narration, we never take any share of your rights or royalties.

Software FAQ
