Making an audio book from a published book

Posted on 05/16/2025 8:14:42 AM PDT by bluescape

I'm looking for a service or app that will take a book in text form and make an audiobook of it. I know there are some quality voice generators now days. I'm just looking for one that is legit and not too expensive.

I reread a large number of books I loved from years ago but many aren't in audio format. More are getting converted all the time but I'd use a good app for some others if it had good feedback.

I also subscribe to Blackstone audio app called downpour.

They have daily 3 dollar audio specials. Many older books and some dogs.

They have a deep deep catalog.

"I have heard some VERY well done free books on Libravox."

You obviously meant the books that Bob recorded. :-)

Yes, they are quite wonderful.

I’m looking forward to it as well. I stalled out on listening to Hancock mid-way, been some busy weeks lately. Trying to get back to it soon.
