Audible to Partner With Publishers to Create AI-Voiced Audiobooks
Inc.'s Audible is working with US-based book publishers to convert print and e-books into artificial intelligence-voiced audiobooks, helping to expand its catalog particularly in non-English speaking markets.
'Every book deserves to be heard in audio,' Bob Carrigan, chief executive officer of Audible, said in an interview. Audiobooks are the fastest-growing format in publishing, according to Audible, but only 2% to 5% of existing print and e-books exist in audio form, he said. 'Our goal is to close that gap.'
