Audible is expanding the availability of audiobooks by introducing AI-generated narration and translation through publisher partnerships.
The initiative combines Audible's audio production experience with Amazon's AI tools, offering publishers faster and scalable production of audiobooks.
Over 100 AI-generated voices are available at launch, covering English, Spanish, French, and Italian, with plans to improve voice quality over time.
A beta translation feature will roll out later this year for English translations into Spanish, French, Italian, and German, with options for human review to maintain accuracy.
