Professional audiobook converter - AI-Powered Audiobook Creation
The complete {tool_type} solution for authors, publishers, and content creators
An audiobook converter transforms written text files into professionally narrated audio files, bridging the gap between print and audio formats. Modern audiobook converters use AI-powered text-to-speech engines to generate natural-sounding narration without human voice actors. This technology has opened audiobook production to independent authors, small publishers, and content creators who previously couldn't afford traditional narration costs of $200-400 per finished hour.

Converting Your First Ebook to Audiobook
Export Your Ebook as Text
Open your ebook file in your original editing software (Word, Scrivener, Google Docs). Export as .docx or .txt format, preserving chapter headings but removing images, tables, and hyperlinks. Clean up any formatting artifacts from the ebook conversion process.
💡 Pro Tip: If converting from EPUB, use Calibre's 'Edit Book' feature to extract clean text.
Prepare the Manuscript for Audio
Audio requires different formatting than visual text. Remove page numbers and visual-only elements. Spell out abbreviations and numbers (write 'twenty-three' not '23'). Replace symbols with words ('&' becomes 'and'). Add double line breaks between sections for natural audio pauses.
💡 Pro Tip: Do a find-and-replace for common ebook artifacts like '[image]' or 'see figure 3.2'.
Upload and Configure Settings
Upload your cleaned text file to VoiceScript. Select your preferred voice from 24 options. Choose pacing (140 wpm for dense content, 150 wpm standard, 160 wpm for light reading). Enable chapter detection if you've marked chapters clearly. Review the word count and estimated audio length.
💡 Pro Tip: Start with our 'Standard Audiobook' preset - it handles 90% of books perfectly.
Review and Download
Processing completes in 2-8 hours depending on length. You'll receive email updates for each chapter. Download the complete audiobook as individual MP3 files per chapter or as one merged file. Files are formatted for direct upload to ACX, Findaway, or other platforms.
💡 Pro Tip: Download both individual chapters (for ACX) and merged file (for personal use).

Frequently Asked Questions about audiobook converter
What file formats can I convert to audiobook?
VoiceScript accepts TXT, DOCX, and PDF files up to 50MB. DOCX (Microsoft Word) format is recommended as it preserves chapter structure and formatting cues. TXT works well but requires manual chapter marking. PDF is supported but works best with text-based PDFs (not scanned images). If you have EPUB or MOBI ebook files, convert them to DOCX using Calibre or export from your original editing software.
How do I handle front matter, chapter titles, and footnotes in conversion?
Front matter (copyright pages, dedications, table of contents) can be included or excluded based on preference. Most authors skip copyright pages but include dedications. For chapter titles, we recommend narrating them - listeners use them for navigation. Footnotes should be converted to endnotes and grouped at the chapter end, preceded by a 'Notes' section header. VoiceScript can automatically detect and handle these elements if formatted consistently.
Can I convert audiobooks from other formats (CD, M4B) to different audio formats?
VoiceScript specializes in text-to-audio conversion, not audio format conversion. For converting existing audiobook audio files between formats (M4B to MP3, CD to digital, etc.), we recommend using audio software like Audacity (free) or Adobe Audition (professional). Our service is designed for creating new audiobooks from written text.
What's the quality of the final audiobook file?
VoiceScript produces broadcast-quality audio at 192kbps MP3, 22kHz sample rate. This exceeds ACX's minimum requirements and matches industry standard for audiobook distribution. Audio is normalized to -18dB to -23dB RMS with -3dB peaks, includes proper room tone, and is mastered for consistent volume across chapters. The files are immediately suitable for upload to all major platforms without additional audio engineering.
