Spotify launches ElevenLabs-powered AI tool for creating audiobooks
Spotify and ElevenLabs have introduced an AI tool that automatically generates audiobooks. The system relies on speech synthesis and lets authors choose from more than 100 voices. Authors are not tied to the Spotify platform. They can publish their book on Apple Books, Amazon, Audible or any other service. This opens the audiobook business to independent authors who previously could not afford professional narration.

Spotify and ElevenLabs have introduced a new AI tool that lets authors automatically create audiobooks using artificial intelligence. The main difference from competitors is that authors remain fully independent: they don't have to sign exclusive contracts that restrict distribution, and they can publish the book on any platform.
How do you create an audiobook with a neural network?
The tool uses ElevenLabs' speech synthesis technology. Authors upload the text or a PDF of their book, and the system automatically converts it to speech through an AI generator, without requiring exclusive contracts.
