Our narration engine uses machine learning that enables us to create a near perfect replica by analyzing distinct characteristics of the speaker’s voice including pitch, tone, inflection, rhythm, and accent. The AI extracts "features" from the voice, which helps define its unique qualities.

We are able to replicate from such a short sample by using a special script written to cover different speech patterns, tones, and vocal nuances so as to give our AI model a broad selection of the speaker’s unique vocal traits. We use these voice characteristics to create a mathematical voice model. This allows us to teach the AI how to replicate the voice for application to book narration.

No, there are manual steps we use to adapt the narrator’s pitch, speed, and timbre make the voice sound more natural in a story telling application.

Once the model is ready, the next step involves generating speech from book texts. A text-to-speech (TTS) engine is used to synthesize audio by converting the input text into speech using your voice replica.

StoryReader.org safeguards the privacy and rights of individuals using our book narration service by only reserving the right to use your voice for the books that you order, nothing else. We prioritize prior consent, data security, and ethical usage in all of our operations, and we remain committed to ensuring the integrity and trustworthiness of our service.

We strictly adhere to copyright laws and the fair use doctrine, ensuring that the audiobooks produced are for personal, non-commercial use only. Our business specializes in creating unique, personalized audiobooks for clients who already own or will purchase the physical or digital versions of the books they wish to have narrated. To maintain compliance and protect the intellectual property rights of authors and publishers, we require an attestation of ownership for each book to be recorded. By operating under the principle of fair use, we transform the format of the book from print to audio, enhancing accessibility and enjoyment for individual owners without impacting the commercial market for the original work.
