The publisher does not plan to give up recording “traditional” audiobooks with actors, but wants to make its titles more accessible to listeners around the world in multiple languages for its series and existing catalog.
In a statement, Mati Staniszewski, CEO of ElevenLabs, expressed his excitement: “…Now every author can see their work come to life in audio, and readers can be offered more choices, eliminating language barriers in content. »
The company has distinguished itself with its AI-based text-to-speech technology. Their cutting-edge tools, including the “Projects” tool designed for publishers, make it easy to create audiobooks with synthetic or custom voices, for a seamless listening experience in any language.
With this collaboration, HarperCollins opens Pandora’s box. Will the other publishing giants follow the publisher?
