Step 1: Start Your Audiobook Project
In the Dashboard, click the '+Create' button or the '+New Audiobook' option to begin.
Step 2: Select Your Content Source
You can choose from several options to provide the text for your audiobook:
Import a blog post.
Upload a Word document, Google Doc, or PDF.
Use a saved draft already stored in the app.
Write the content from scratch.
For this tutorial, we’ll use a previously saved draft.
Step 3: Edit in the Audiobook Editor
Once you’ve selected your content, it will open in the audiobook editor. Here’s what to do next:
Verify the Speaker and Language
By default, the editor assigns Jenny, an American speaker.
Ensure that the speaker and language match your text's requirements. You can select from the following languages:
Chinese
English (Australia, Canada, UK, US)
French (Canada, France)
German
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Norwegian
Portuguese (Brazil)

Turkish
For this audiobook, we’ll select an English speaker with a British accent.
Choose and Preview Voices
Options for British English include Libby and Mia.
Select one and click 'Preview' to hear a sample of the voice reading a preset text. Compare both voices by repeating the process with the other option.
In this example, we’ll select Mia as the speaker. 'Add Speaker' button.
Set the Default Speaker
Click the 'Add Speaker' button to add Mia.
Open Mia’s menu (three dots) and choose 'Set as main speaker'.
Confirm that Mia has replaced the default speaker (Jenny), then remove the default speaker if it’s no longer needed.
Notice that 'Mia' has replaced the default's speaker. Let's remove the default speaker as well.
Make sure to click 'Save' to preserve your changes.
