Unspoken. Until Now.

For the first time ever, authors have a writing tool to help them easily create a quality, multi-cast audiobook in the time it takes to order a pizza. (For the cost of the pizza.)

Spoken Studio helps authors take advantage of the latest AI technology — all without sacrificing creative rights. 

Spoken deeply analyzes each work and character to recommend or custom generate the perfect voices. These voices, whether of voice actors or character-generated, are used to craft the perfect single, dual or multi-cast narration.

Spoken Integrates Hume AI to Help Storytellers Tell Stories With More Emotion
Spoken Integrates Hume AI to Help Storytellers Tell Stories With More Emotion

Spoken, an innovative audio storytelling platform purpose-built for self-published authors, has integrated Hume AI’s Text-to-Speech into their storytelling platform, enabling indie authors to cast fluid, natural-sounding narrators for their audiobooks. Additionally, Spoken has launched an automated option for voice generation that analyzes the narrator and each character, then generates a unique custom voice for each automatically. 

According to Spoken CEO and Founder Phil Marshall, the integration of Hume AI has played a big role in meeting the demand for intuitive, engaging audio performances. "Spoken's integration of Hume AI is empowering authors to create more emotionally resonant, performance-driven audiobooks. The voices are studio grade, emotive, and, with Hume, we’re now able to cast voices for teen and children characters. That’s something our fiction authors in particular have been asking for.”
