Subscribe now & try this featureVoice Switcher
Choose the narrator that suits you. The narrator is one of the most defining parts of the audiobook experience – but listeners have very different preferences. Traditionally, a book is recorded with a single narrator, leaving little room for personal choice. Voice Switcher changes that. For selected titles, you can now pick between the original human narrator and a set of world-class AI voices reading the same book. Switch voices instantly and seamlessly, and discover the version of the story that feels just right for you.
