An effective alternative: AI Voice Dubbing for audiobooks What if we told you there was another approach to creating audiobooks? One that takes a fraction of the time-weeks if not days, instead of months-and could be done for a fraction of the cost-hundreds of dollars instead of thousands? Introducing AI-enabled narration of audiobooks. All thanks to text to speech (TTS)—a technology that uses artificial intelligence and deep learning to turn written text into natural-sounding audio content that can be streamed or downloaded—it is now possible to create audiobooks at an affordable price and deliver an increasingly enjoyable experience for the listeners. With the improvement in TTS, synthetic voice has become less robotic and more human-like. As such, more people are warming up to the idea of creating audiobooks with this technology. TTS also has the ability to pick up on the nuances and emotional cues of the human voice needed for reading text in a compelling manner. Moreover, with TTS, it is relatively easy to create audio files clear of background noise and narrated audiobooks with almost perfect diction.
Benefits of TTS for AI audiobooks Using TTS for audiobooks has numerous advantages. Firstly, it saves you the time and expense of hiring a voice actor or narrator, producer, and audio editor. It also eliminates the need to rent a studio and invest in expensive recording equipment. Secondly, the user has the liberty to choose a voice of their choice. TTS offers several different voices spanning age, gender, and language. Depending on the software being used and the options available, an individual can choose the gender, language, and accent of the voice (or multiple voices) for their audiobook. Furthermore, TTS-powered audiobooks help dyslexics and other individuals with learning disabilities to keep up with their peers. Reading with TTS offers a more immersive experience. Besides, it’s not very difficult to create an audiobook with TTS. All you need is one of the best text-to-speech generators out there and a manuscript of the book you want to convert into an audiobook. And, presto, in a few simple steps, you have your audiobook ready.
