ElevenLabs recently collaborated with HarperCollins, Storytel, and The Atlantic to help expand the media companies' offerings through the latest audio technology. HarperCollins made use of the technology to convert select deep backlist titles into audiobooks for distribution in foreign markets. Storytel, one of the world's largest audiobook-streaming subscription services, worked with ElevenLabs to develop AI voices specifically tailored to Storytel's core markets. The partnership also included a new feature, VoiceSwitcher, which allows Storytel to provide a truly unique, personalized listening experience to every reader. The Atlantic used the text-to-speech technology to almost instantly transform print articles into audio options.

Without AI, the time and resources necessary to convert a host of titles into other languages, create customized experiences, and quickly transmute long reams of text into speech would have been impossible. Now, more and more books in publishers’ extensive catalogues can be revived and reissued as audiobooks, finding new readers around the world.

ElevenLabs offers narration in 32 languages and thousands of voices, with countless sound effects, all of which reaches readers around the world who listen to and purchase audiobooks through the ElevenReader app.

Publishing on the platform is simple and can be done within a matter of hours. Once a file is uploaded, publishers can use the AI Narrator toolkit to streamline structuring, editing, and generating long-form audio. Publishers can also select narrators from the Voice Library, choosing a unique voice for every character in their story, or create new voices from scratch using Voice Design. The voices can then be adjusted for tone, style, and delivery to create authentic characters and bring them to life.

The app also features many recognizable voices, including Arianna Huffington, Deepak Chopra, and Melania Trump, as well as dozens of other authors, and includes the official voice replicas licensed from some of the world’s most iconic voices.

Once produced, publishers and authors can list their audiobooks on the app, selling directly to a global audience.

Users can listen to any digital text on-the-go, powered by these AI voices. The app takes articles, PDFs, EPUBs, newsletters, e-books, or any other text on the listener's phone and turns it into an emotionally rich, context-aware voiceover, allowing listeners to connect with the most influential figures and their work.
