About Spoken

Built by storytellers, for storytellers.

How one author's story became a studio for every storyteller — and the people building it today.

It started when founder Phil Marshall — a surgeon turned tech entrepreneur and lifelong sci-fi writer — tried to narrate his own story with AI and spent hours just getting one character to sound right. So he built what didn't exist: a robust, agentic audiobook studio workflow, validated by science to produce narration listeners prefer. Today, Spoken gives authors, audiobook production companies, and publishers the tools to create vivid, studio-grade audiobooks at scale — built for a listener market that's growing faster than ever.
