The audiobook
Their story. In their voice. Forever.
Imagine a grandchild, years from now, hearing their grandmother read her own life story aloud. Her voice, her pace, her warmth. With Chapternity, that is not imaginary. From a short recording, even an old one you already have, we recreate a voice faithfully and narrate every chapter in it.

A voice is a personal thing. We treat it that way.
A recording is used only to create the audiobook you have asked for. It is not shared, and it is not used for anything else. We only ask that you have the permission of the person whose voice it is. A cloned voice can be removed on request, and you are always in control of your story and the recordings within it.

Hear it for yourself
Thirty seconds says more than we can
A chapter from a real story, narrated the way yours would be. And remember, you always hear a preview of your own story before you pay anything.

- An audiobook narrated by a professional AI voice starts from £19, and one narrated in the storyteller’s own cloned voice starts from £29. Audiobooks are 20% off when added to a printed book.
- Can I hear the audiobook before I pay?

- Whose voice can narrate the story?
- You can choose a warm, professional AI narrator, or have it narrated in the storyteller’s own voice, recreated with AI from a short recording. The choice is yours, and it works for any story, not only a life story.

- Just two to three minutes of the person speaking, captured on any device, or a recording you already have. Even an old one can work.
- Is the voice recording kept private?
- Yes. A recording is used only to create your audiobook. It is not shared, it is never used to train anything, and it can be deleted on request at any time. We only ask that you have the permission of the person whose voice it is.
- How do I get the audiobook, and can I keep it?
- The audiobook is added to your written story, so you start the story first and add the voice whenever you are ready. It is ready within minutes of ordering, and yours to download as an MP3 and keep forever.
