I messed around for about 20 minutes and made this clip using Eleven Labs AI app to turn a short section of my story “The Living Light” into audio book format.

It was super simple. I downloaded the free app on my iphone, this should link you to it: https://help.elevenlabs.io/hc/en-us/articles/19833992491793-Does-ElevenLabs-have-an-official-app

* I created a free account.

* Clicked Audiobook from the main menu.

* Selected a voice I liked from the list there.

* Clicked Create.

* Copy pasted a section of my book.

* Clicked generate.

* I tweaked the settings at the bottom to create more style varience and less monotony and clicked generate again.

This helped me also see how my writing is read by someone other than myself and you get a feel for the cadence etc. This allowed me to make a few more adjustments to make improve my flow. However, I didn’t get to generate these adjustments yet as I ran out of free credits haha.

When my book editing is done I’ll use this to make an audiobook and will keep ya’ll updated on the journey.

I think it will be easy to do it chapter by chapter with a paid account, and then use another program or app to compile the tracks into chapters and index them etc.

Peace!
