Audible's Virtual Voice is Flooding the Market - Brian's Book Blog *

Today's trip into the Catosphere took Panzer to the Brian's Book Blog site. There our inquisitive kitty boy found a post about the Beta Audible/Amazon Virtual Voice feature.

It's free to do; so, of course, writers are doing it.
The post covers the huge number of AI narrated books being uploaded to Audible in the different genres. The post doesn't address the quality of the narration but, instead, the sheer number of books uploaded. It also points out that there is no way to filter the AI narrated books from a reader's book searches. For example, if you're looking for a cozy mystery audiobook, you'll get AI narrated books included with human narrated books and may find your search inundated with the AI books. The post also includes a Comment Section at the end worth reading as well. (In that section a poster says you must be in KDP Select to use the Virtual Voice feature.)
 
Panzer says, "This little kitty learned about the feature a few days ago on YouTube. Some videos are posted there explaining how to do the AI narration and upload your book to Audible."
 
 Note: This is a long post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin to munch on while you read the post.
