About digital narration

Our audiobooks are narrated with high-quality digital (AI) voices, then edited, mastered and checked by people. That’s what makes a professionally finished audiobook possible at these prices, with no separate fee for voice talent.

Retailers set their own rules for digitally narrated audiobooks, and not every store accepts them. Before production starts we’ll tell you where your audiobook can be sold, so there are no surprises.
