Frequently Asked Questions

Narratemi is an AI-powered platform that transforms your ebooks into professional audiobooks. Upload your EPUB file, choose from our library of AI voices, and create a high-quality audiobook in minutes—complete with different voices for different characters.

You upload your ebook in EPUB format, and Narratemi automatically parses the book structure, identifies chapters, and prepares the text for narration. You then select narrator voices (including different voices for different characters if desired), click generate, and your audiobook is created using advanced AI text-to-speech technology.

Narratemi natively supports EPUB format, which is the most common ebook format. If you have books in other formats (like Kindle's AZW or MOBI), you can convert them to EPUB using free tools like Calibre before uploading.

While human narrators offer unique artistic interpretation, AI narration provides accessibility and speed that makes audiobook creation practical for more books and budgets.
