Bring the book and the narrator’s dialect.

You bring

Upload your manuscript and optionally choose your narrator’s primary dialect.

Your manuscript stays private. Author Media never stores or views it, and the AI companies do not train on it.

You get

A draft pronunciation guide to discuss with your narrator.

AI cannot know how you intended an invented name to sound. Check important pronunciations and approve the guide before treating it as the recording reference.

Before you start

Will it know how my invented names should sound?

You stay in charge of how your world sounds. AI cannot know your intended pronunciation, so you decide how each invented name is said.

Do I have to read phonetic symbols?

You do not need special training to prepare for that conversation. No, you do not have to read phonetic symbols.

Will it check the finished audiobook?

You can prepare before recording, but you still need to review the finished audiobook yourself. This tool does not listen to or verify your recording.

Can I also give my narrator character context?

You can help your narrator feel at home with your cast, too. You can feel more prepared for that conversation with Character Compendium.

Is my manuscript private?

Yes. Author Media does not store, track, or view anything you post to this tool. The tools reach each AI through its business API with privacy set to the maximum, so the AI companies do not train on your words.
