EasyVoice exports each chapter as a separate MP3 (ZIP download) at 192kbps CBR — the bitrate retail platforms recommend — for $9.99/month flat on the Pro plan. No per-character billing means a full 80,000-word novel costs the same as a short story, and every revision is included.
A self-published novel is 80,000–100,000 words — roughly 480,000–600,000 characters of narration. Per-character tools charge by the word, so revisions, chapter retakes, and format experimentation all add up. EasyVoice Pro is $9.99/month flat: the full manuscript, every revision, every chapter export, at a fixed cost that never scales with word count.
Per-chapter export is the practical requirement for audiobook distribution: retail platforms expect individual chapter files, not one multi-hour MP3. EasyVoice's Long-Form Studio (Pro) splits a pasted manuscript at chapter markers and exports a ZIP of named chapter files at 192kbps CBR — the bitrate widely recommended for distribution-ready audio. You get one MP3 per chapter plus a manifest file with duration per chapter.

Ready to produce the files? The AI Audiobook Generator walks through chapter markers, 192 kbps export and the chapter ZIP.
In Long-Form Studio, start each chapter with a # Chapter Title line. EasyVoice detects these markers and assigns one audio file per chapter — no manual splitting needed.
Choose the 192kbps option (Pro). Generation encodes at that bitrate from the lossless synthesis output — not a downsampled re-encode. A single generation handles up to 50,000 characters (roughly 8,000 words).
Click Download chapters (ZIP). You receive one MP3 per chapter named by chapter title, plus a manifest listing each chapter's duration. Check the files against your distributor's technical requirements before uploading.
For any edits — a re-scripted paragraph, a corrected name — paste just that chapter and regenerate. The same voice setting produces a consistent vocal character whether you record today or six months from now.
It depends on the platform. Spotify Audiobooks (via Findaway Voices) accepts AI-narrated audiobooks with a required disclosure as of February 2025. ACX (Audible's narrator portal) does not allow third-party AI narration — it requires human narration.

192kbps CBR MP3 is the widely recommended bitrate for audiobook distribution audio. EasyVoice Pro encodes at 192kbps CBR from the lossless synthesis output via the 192kbps option in Long-Form Studio. Always verify the exact technical spec with your specific distributor before finalising your files.
Yes. Long-Form Studio (Pro) detects chapter markers (lines starting with #) in your pasted manuscript and exports a ZIP of individual chapter MP3 files, each named by chapter title, plus a manifest with title and duration per chapter.
For many indie fiction and non-fiction genres, AI narration is commercially viable — the voices are consistent, require no direction, and need no rebooking for revisions. High-end literary fiction with complex character dialects or heavy emotional nuance is where human narrators still have a clear edge. The economics make AI narration compelling for series, back-catalogue titles, and first-run experimental projects.
