”Spotify is releasing new audiobook plans later this year”

— Spotify, företaget · TechCrunch AI

Why it matters

This initiative represents a step toward automation in audiobook production. By reducing dependency on human narrators, Spotify can potentially scale its audiobook offering significantly, leading to a broader library for listeners. This may also lower the barrier to entry for authors and publishers to release audiobooks.

Who is affected?

Developers and publishers looking to produce audiobooks are directly affected through access to a new AI-based production tool. Spotify users will potentially gain access to a larger selection of titles. The partnership also strengthens ElevenLabs' position as a leading provider of AI voices.

What else you should know

The tool is currently in beta, meaning it may undergo adjustments and improvements before a wider rollout. Further details regarding availability and functionality are expected later this year.
