Spotify announced that it will begin accepting AI-narrated audiobooks, in partnership with ElevenLabs.
Authors can use ElevenLabs' platform to narrate their audiobooks in 29 languages, with control over voice and intonation.
Authors need to upload their work to ElevenLabs for AI voiceover and then submit the resulting file package to Spotify's audiobook distribution service.
Established authors like John Scalzi may have reservations about AI-narrated audiobooks and prefer human narrators for their works.
