AudioBookByMe converts PDF, EPUB, TXT, plain-text, and scanned-page content into MP3 audiobook audio using AI text-to-speech. Scanned PDFs and JPG or PNG book-page photos are processed with OCR. The parser can detect chapter headings and skip sections such as contents, copyright, and index pages. Its catalog has 66 AI voices in 8 languages, and voice cloning uses a 10-second sample. A pronunciation dictionary lets users apply reusable word corrections across a book's chapters. Generated files are processed as 44.1 kHz, 192 kbps CBR mono audio, with loudness normalized to -23 LUFS. The service describes its output as suitable for ACX and says it can be published to Audible, Apple Books, Google Play, Spotify, and Findaway. Users retain rights to uploaded books and generated audio while granting a limited license to process files for generation. The free plan allows one audiobook conversion per month and adds a spoken watermark. Pro costs $19.99 USD per month and includes three books per month.
