How it works

From manuscript to audiobook on your iPhone

Everything below happens in the app. Your upload stays private to your account, and you can delete it at any time.

  1. Uploading a Word, EPUB, PDF or TXT manuscript in the NovelHive AI iPhone app.

    1. Upload your manuscript

    Pick a Word (.docx or .doc), EPUB, PDF or TXT file up to 25 MB, or send one with Open in NovelHive from Files or Mail. Books need clear chapter headings.

  2. Reviewing a book's title, summary and cast before the audiobook is created.

    2. Check it before it’s saved

    NovelHive finds the chapters and the people who speak in them. Review the title, author, summary and cast, rename anyone, and add voice hints like gravelly or gentle.

  3. Choosing an AI voice for each character of a book in the NovelHive AI iPhone app.

    3. A voice for every character

    Each character gets a suggested AI voice. Tap to hear a sample, or pick another. You see the price and your balance before you create the audiobook.

  4. Switching between reading the text and listening to the audiobook on iPhone.

    4. Listen anywhere, or read

    Speed control, a sleep timer and chapter skips, with playback that keeps going in the background and on the lock screen. Switch to the text at any time.
