ElevenLabs just upgraded the audiobook experience for authors and publishers

90% of published books never become audiobooks. Production is expensive and distribution is complex.

ElevenLabs is the leading company for today's audio innovation. Audiobook creators have been part of ElevenLabs' DNA since day one. Now we're doubling down on that effort with the launch of Audiobooks in ElevenCreative—a unified platform for creating and distributing audiobooks.
