definition
Voice cloning for audiobooks lets an author or narrator’s own voice read a whole book, generated from the manuscript. With consent, you clone the voice from a short sample on the Speechify Build API, then narrate every chapter in it, without the author spending days recording.
the-authors-voice
For many books, the author reading is the draw. Cloning captures that voice from a short sample and applies it across the entire manuscript, so a personal audiobook is possible without the hours a full narration would take.
consistency-across-chapters
Each chapter is synthesized with the same voice ID, so the narration is uniform from start to finish. There is no drift between sessions and no need to re-record to match earlier chapters. See the audiobook narration page.
cross-language-editions
Through simba-multilingual, a cloned voice can produce editions in 30+ languages, so an author’s voice can narrate translations rather than handing them to different narrators.
consent
A consent record with the author’s full name and email is required to create the voice. Cloning always requires authorization. See the voice cloning API.
