DVDFab has introduced the BookFab AudioBook Creator, aimed at audiobook producers, with a retail price of $59.99. This software, powered by AI, swiftly transforms text into audio files, offering 20 diverse AI voices in both English and Japanese.
Accessibility for All
Many individuals across the globe struggle with reading for various reasons, such as being visually impaired or simply lacking the time to spend long periods on printed text. Take truck drivers, for instance; they often spend over eight hours on the road daily, making it unfeasible to read a book, even when they have ample time to listen to something interesting.
Growing Popularity of Audiobooks
Audiobooks have become one of the most popular and profitable forms of audio entertainment worldwide. According to Deloitte, the leading formats for audio entertainment in 2024 are ranked in a specific order, highlighting the growing trend of audiobooks.
The software is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows, including 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11. Users need at least 4 GB of RAM and 40 GB of available storage. Moreover, an Internet connection is essential for converting copied text or TXT files into MP3 and OPUS audio formats.
Customization Options for Creators
Users can effortlessly adjust pronunciations for tricky words and personalize the reading rules of the text. Additionally, abbreviations can be linked to custom spoken outputs. The 20 available voices can be fine-tuned for expressivity, prosody, pauses, and speed, ensuring an ideal vocal delivery in English or Japanese. Future updates may include the option to clone human voice actors.
