Chapters from headings
# headings in TXT and Markdown, Heading 1 in Word, and a Chapter column in spreadsheets all become chapters. You can also start a chapter between any two sections.
AI audiobook maker
Turn your novel into a chaptered audiobook
Import a TXT, Word, or Markdown file and headings become chapters. Give the narrator and each character a cloned or public voice, generate and review one chapter at a time, and redo only the lines you change. Export the whole book as one MP3 with chapter markers, or one file per chapter.
Headings split chapters and aren't read aloud
Turning a book into audio is more than reading it out. Dozens of chapters need to stay organized, the narrator and characters need different voices, a misread line needs to be redone on its own, and the result has to be delivered by chapter. The audiobook maker keeps all of that in one project. When you import a script, # headings become chapters. Headings only group sections and aren't read aloud.
Label lines with [Narrator], [Mia], or "Mia: line" and pick a voice for each speaker. Unlabeled text is read by the narrator. Every chapter can be previewed and exported on its own, with a longer pause between chapters. Change one line and only that section needs regenerating; everything else, including versions you're happy with, stays as it is.
When you're done, export the whole book as one MP3 with chapter markers, so players that support chapters can jump straight to one. Or export by chapter, one MP3 each in a ZIP, ready to upload to audiobook platforms.

A voice for the narrator and each character
Label lines with [Name] or "Name:"; unlabeled text is read by the narrator. Pick a cloned or public voice per speaker. Changing a voice only affects that speaker's sections.
Adjust a whole character at once
Set speed, language, and mode for every line of a character at once, for example making a child character speak a little faster.
Preview by chapter, redo by line
Collapse chapters, play one on its own, and regenerate only the line you changed. Every previous version is kept.
Pauses between chapters
Sections get a natural breath between them, and chapters get a longer pause automatically, so the book has a sense of structure.
Export the book, a chapter, or every chapter
A full MP3 with chapter markers, a single chapter, or one MP3 per chapter in a ZIP with a chapter list.
Novels and serials
Short stories, novellas, or a volume of a longer novel, with narration and character dialogue, delivered chapter by chapter.
Children's and bedtime stories
One story per chapter, a gentle narrator and lively characters, played back as a full collection.
Courses and lecture notes
One lesson per chapter, uploaded by chapter so learners can jump straight to a lesson.
Essays and newsletter collections
Organize a blog series or newsletter archive into chapters and turn it into a collection for the commute.

- 01
Write the chapter name as a line to have it read
# headings split chapters and aren't read aloud. To hear "Chapter one. The stopped clocks.", add it as a line of text under the heading.
- 02
Give dialogue its own section
Put each character's line in its own section with a label, and narration in a separate one, so every line can be adjusted and redone on its own.
- 03
Keep character names consistent
Use the same name for a character throughout the book. Mixing "Mia" and "Mimi" creates two different speakers.
- 04
Finish one chapter first
Generate chapter one and check the narrator's speed, character voices, and pauses before generating the rest. It saves credits and time.
- 05
Split long novels into volumes
A project holds up to 300,000 characters and 3,000 sections, depending on your plan. For long novels, create one project per volume, use “Duplicate → Next episode” to keep speakers and voices, and export each on its own.
- 06
Export for where it's going
Audiobook platforms usually want one file per chapter, so use Export by chapter. For listening or sharing, the full-book MP3 is easier.
