Spotify has announced a partnership with ElevenLabs to introduce AI-narrated audiobooks on its platform, recognizing the potential of AI technology to expand the audiobook market. Although AI-recorded audiobooks have previously been permitted under strict guidelines, the new collaboration marks an important step toward wider adoption. Authors using ElevenLabs can create audiobooks in 32 languages with various synthetic voice options. Spotify believes that these digital narrations can empower smaller authors and facilitate the revival of older titles. All AI-narrated audiobooks will be clearly marked for user transparency.
Spotify's new partnership with ElevenLabs allows for AI-narrated audiobooks, recognizing the potential of digital voice-narration to expand the audiobook market.
AI-recorded audiobooks are allowed on Spotify but come with restrictions, providing opportunities for smaller authors to produce cost-effective audiobooks.
The free version of ElevenLabs' software allows only 10 minutes of narration per month, while premium tiers offer greater access for audiobook production.
Spotify emphasizes that AI-narrated audiobooks will be transparently labeled, ensuring listeners know when a title is narrated using digital voice.
