AI BriefingHow to Produce Audiobooks
Key point
Using AI TTS technology like ElevenLabs makes it possible to produce audiobooks much faster and cheaper than traditional methods.
Details
Audiobook production methods are divided into the traditional approach using human voice actors and the approach using AI voice generation software such as ElevenLabs.
The key differences between the two methods are as follows:
- Production time: Hiring voice actors requires weeks to months for recording and editing, but with AI, text can be converted to speech in just a few hours.
- Production cost: Hiring voice actors can cost thousands of dollars, while AI solutions are much more economical at around $0-$330 per month.
ElevenLabs' AI TTS (Text-to-Speech) technology is already being used by major publishers such as Lukeman Literary, The Washington Post, and Storytel. While AI may lack the nuanced emotional expression of human voice actors, it eliminates studio costs and the editing process, making it highly efficient for producing high-quality audiobooks within tight schedules.
