Audible to use AI Tech for Audiobooks
From The Bookseller (May 13, 2025):
Audible to use AI technology to produce audiobooks.
Audible is set to offer "end-to-end" AI production technology to publishers - including translation and narration - to create audiobooks. The audiobook company explained it will work with publishers to produce audiobooks using AI, at all points of the process.
Professional Audiobook Narrators Association (PANA)
The Professional Audiobook Narrators (PANA) was founded on a desire to educate, recognize and uplift our diverse community of professional (and human!) audiobook narrators, and advocacy is the heart of our mission.
We are now getting back to our roots and providing a path to advocacy for our members. Our Legislative Action tool is step one of many, please stay tuned for more initiatives developed by our board and PANA volunteers.
Soon we'll have to read to each other and give all these companies the slip.
