Everything authors need

Everything you need to move one book from manuscript to audio.

Instead of hooks, editing, and retention charts, Simply Voiced focuses on the parts that matter for books: casting the narration, uploading the manuscript, approving the quote, and getting finished audio out.

Cast the narration

Choose a voice that fits the book.

Start with curated premade voices, or use voice cloning when you want the audiobook narrated in your own voice.

  • Browse voices by tone and style.
  • Preview samples before you commit.
  • Keep the narration consistent across the book.

Upload the manuscript

Move from draft file to quoted project.

Upload a plain-text or Word manuscript and let the app calculate the billable length from the actual file you plan to produce.

Accepted formats

Plain text `.txt` and Word `.docx`, up to 10 MB per manuscript.

Follow production

See where every audiobook stands.

The app keeps the workflow readable: quote pending, payment complete, processing in the background, and ready-to-download segment audio when it finishes.

How it works

From manuscript to audiobook in four clear steps.

A straightforward, four-step process keeps the workflow easy to understand before you ever create the first project.

    Create the project

    Name the book and decide whether to use a premade voice or a clone.

  2. 2

    Upload the manuscript

    Attach the file you want produced so the app can derive a real quote.

  3. 3

    Confirm pricing

    Pay once through Stripe when you are ready to unlock generation.

  4. 4

    Track and download

    Follow status changes and retrieve audio when processing completes.

Comparison

Not all AI tools are set up for audiobook work.

Generic tools can generate text or raw audio. Simply Voiced is organized around the end-to-end audiobook workflow an author actually needs to complete.

Three common paths

Different author goals, same clean workflow.

Solo author

You want an audiobook without a studio retainer.

Choose a premade voice, upload the manuscript, review the quote, and move one book through the pipeline at your own pace.

Backlist owner

You want a repeatable way to convert multiple titles.

The same project flow works title after title, with clear statuses so you always know which books are waiting, processing, or ready.

Author-brand narrator

You want the audiobook to sound like you.

Start with cloning, upload voice samples, and keep the rest of the workflow familiar from pricing through final download.

Pricing

One book, one quote, one clear checkout.

There is no monthly plan hiding behind the page. You upload the manuscript, the app calculates the billable length, and the quote is locked before generation starts.

  • Same block pricing formula as checkout.
  • Word-equivalent length derived from the manuscript file.
  • 25% generation buffer included for revisions.
  • Stripe card and Link support on checkout.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to upload?

A manuscript file in plain text (.txt) or Word (.docx). The quote is calculated from the uploaded file, not a rough guess.

Can I use my own voice?

Yes. You can choose voice cloning when creating the project, then upload voice samples before generation starts.

How does pricing work?

Pricing is block-based: $20.00 per 5,000 words (billable length rounded up to full blocks), with a 25% generation buffer for revisions. The manuscript locks in the final quote before checkout.

When do I pay?

You pay through Stripe when you are ready to unlock the audiobook workflow for that book. It is not a recurring monthly subscription page.

What happens after payment?

The project moves into processing, status updates continue on the book page, and finished audio becomes available for download when ready.

Ready to hear your book?

Start with the manuscript you already have.

Pick the voice, upload the file, confirm the quote, and move toward finished audiobook audio without the usual studio sprawl.
