You can hear samples of what these AI voices sound like here. Other genres of book like science fiction or thrillers are not currently supported. Fiction and romance books are narrated by “Madison” and “Jackson’.” Non-fiction and self-development genre books will be narrated by “Helena” and “Mitchell.” Each genre of book is accompanied by a particular AI voice. Interestingly, Apple is targeting specific genres for this initial rollout. In the Apple Books app, AI audiobooks are tagged with a “Narrated by Apple Books” subtitle. It is inviting independent writers and larger publishers to opt-in to have their written books converted into audio form using AI voice synthesis models.Īpple announced the scheme towards the end of last year, and - as noted by The Guardian - the first AI-narrated books are now available to download in the Apple Books Store. Apple Books has launched a new initiative to expand the number of audiobooks available on its store.
