FAQs – VoomVox Audiobook Services

1. Do I need a published book to create an audiobook for online distribution?

No. You can create and distribute an audiobook before publishing a physical or eBook version. VoomVox supports standalone audio projects, whether you're preparing for Audible, Findaway, or other platforms.

2. What kind of recording setup do I need to use VoomVox?

You don’t need a professional studio. Many of our users record at home using a good-quality microphone in a quiet, echo-free space. We have a comprehensive set of free guides to help you meet the basic standards.

3. If I choose to create using AI will my AI audiobook files need post-production?

Yes. While AI can generate audio, it will need editing and refinement to remove unwanted sounds, adjust volume, and improve overall audio quality in order to be submission-ready. As stated on Elevenlabs website; "start editing the audio files using professional editing software. Organize all audio files chronologically (by chapter) and listen to each file to remove any mistakes, background noise, and pauses using editing software like Audacity, Adobe Audition, or GarageBand." use our guides to help you through the process of preparing your files for mastering, then hand them over to us, and we'll ensure your audiobook is ready for for the world.

Once your audiobook is ready, it can be submitted to Audible, Findaway Voices, Google Play and many more. Our guides walk you through these options. Please Note: Audible do not currently accept AI generated audiobooks, although there are plans to change this.
