Our ElevenLabs Studio suite lets you structure, edit, and generate AI audiobooks with precision. The full audio suite is available in premium plans for editing text-to-speech, fine-tuning pronunciations, and exporting your audio as mp3 files or distributing through our various options: our ElevenReader app, our Audio Native web player, or via our Findaway Voices by Spotify partnership.

Our ElevenReader Publishing program lets any author convert their book's text into an audiobook version for on-demand narration and distribution on the ElevenReader mobile app. It's designed for direct self-publishing on the top-rated ElevenReader app to connect authors' texts with users around the globe.
