How do I make an audiobook with an AI voice?
4 min read · Updated October 30, 2026
Prepare your text, choose a narrator voice, generate, then listen through for mistakes. Only turn text you wrote or have the rights to into audio. Zlayo's audiobook tool handles the narration.
Make an audiobook →Prepare the text
- Remove page numbers, footnote marks and headers.
- Spell out unusual names once, phonetically, if the voice stumbles.
- Split into chapters so you can fix one without redoing all.
Rights
Narrating a book you didn't write needs the author's permission. Your own writing, public-domain texts and text you are licensed to use are fine.
In Zlayo
Open the audiobook tool, add your text, pick a voice and generate. On the Free plan, audio is cut to 45 seconds and the script to 600 characters, as part of your 3 free creations.
Questions
Voice Cloning lets you create a voice from your own recording, with a consent step.
Listen through first. AI narration can mispronounce names.
