- Save it as an EPUB or plain text.
- Mark chapters clearly.
- Spell out anything the voice might misread.
Choose and tune the voice
Listen to a few voices on a paragraph of your own writing. Adjust the speed so it suits the genre.

Listen through once and note fixes. Edit the text and generate again. Zlayo produces a chaptered .m4b file you can download.
Rights
Only narrate text you wrote or have the right to use.
Questions
