We are reimagining audiobook narration to be more accessible and always author‑first. Our goal is to break the cost barrier and prove that every story deserves to be heard.
“We love human narrators. We are humans. But the math doesn’t work for most books.”
Professional narration costs $3,000–5,000 per title.
Narrators are booked months out. Studios charge by the finished hour. And the economics only pencil out for bestsellers. For the vast majority of books — the ones written with just as much heart — the audiobook edition simply never happens.
That means millions of listeners who experience stories during commutes, workouts, and quiet evenings never hear the books they’d love. Not because the writing isn’t good enough. Because the price tag was too high.
Technology should expand access, not replace artistry.
Human narrators are irreplaceable.
A great narrator brings decades of craft — timing, emotion, character work. We don’t pretend AI replaces that. We believe it opens a door for the books that would otherwise stay silent.
Every book deserves to be heard.
Audiobooks aren’t a luxury format. They’re how millions of people experience stories. The barrier was never demand — it was cost. We’re here to remove it.
Your work stays yours.
Full commercial rights on every audiobook you generate. No royalty sharing, no platform lock-in, no training on your manuscripts. Your words, your audio, your revenue.
Partnering with technology, built for humans.
We run our own speech synthesis infrastructure — not a wrapper around someone else’s API. Every voice in our library was selected and tuned for long-form narration: natural breathing, consistent pacing, proper emphasis.
Your manuscript never trains a model. It’s processed, synthesized, and the text is purged from our servers after generation. We built StoryVox because we’re authors and readers ourselves — and we treat your work the way we’d want ours treated.
A typical novel costs $15–30 and generates in under an hour. That’s not a compromise — it’s what happens when technology serves the creator instead of the other way around.
Built by authors.
We write books for a living — full-time, award-winning, very much human books. We built StoryVox because we needed it ourselves. We stay behind the fox because the world isn’t always kind to authors who build with technology. But the work speaks for itself.
