Studios charge £2,000–£5,000 and take months to turn a book into an audiobook. NarrateWise does it in days, in a clone of your own voice, mastered to retail spec and certified per chapter — from £499.

Ten guided minutes of reading. A signed consent. Then every book you ever write can sound like you read it — because, in every way that matters, you did.
Audio or video → timestamped manuscript. SRT & VTT included.
−20 LUFS, peaks under −3 dB. The numbers retailers check.
Real chapter markers. Plus MP3 and WAV masters.
Measured. Pass or fail. In ink.
Paste your manuscript or upload a recording — we transcribe it into one. Chapters are detected automatically, and you approve them before anything renders.
Clone your own voice or pick a narrator. Your first chapter renders first; you listen before committing the book. The £ quote is fixed before either.
Every chapter rendered, measured and stamped. Download the certified M4B — ready for the stores' technical checks.
Three live pieces, built end-to-end by the same AI that will build your audiobook. Open them. Poke them.
A professional-grade clone needs about ten guided minutes of your reading. You'll hear your first chapter in that voice before you commit the rest of the book — that's the guarantee, not a demo trick.
Honest answer: Audible's ACX currently restricts third-party AI narration, while Spotify, Google Play and Apple Books accept it (disclosed). We master to ACX's technical spec regardless, and we'll route your book down the right path per store — including a human-narrated Audible edition if you want one. Nobody else leads with this honesty; we think it's why you should trust the rest of the page.
Record yourself talking — a phone memo is fine. We transcribe it (with timestamps and speakers), you tidy it in the studio, and it becomes the book you narrate. Dictate on a dog walk; ship to the stores.
You do. Voice cloning happens only with your signed consent, and everything — training audio, masters, exports — is archived and downloadable. Cancel any time and take it all with you.
Because the expensive part of a studio is the room, the engineer's hours, and the narrator's day rate. Our pipeline replaces the room and the hours; you (or a licensed voice) replace the day rate. The measurement standards stay identical — that's what the certificate proves.
