Spotify Opens Up Support for ElevenLabs Audiobook Content

As Spotify continues to roll out audiobooks to new listeners worldwide, we’re committed to providing authors with tools that help them reach those listeners and lowering the barrier to entry so more authors than ever can have their books heard. 

Starting today, we’re excited to begin accepting audiobooks from ElevenLabs, an AI software company that provides easy-to-use, high-quality voice narration technology.

For authors looking for a cost-effective way to create high-quality audiobooks, digital voice narration by ElevenLabs is a great option. Authors can use the ElevenLabs platform to narrate their audiobooks in 29 languages, with complete control over voice and intonation.  

One of our most requested features, now, authors can distribute their ElevenLabs content to Spotify and select other audiobook retailers via Findaway Voices, reaching millions of new listeners and book fans.

How to quickly and easily submit ElevenLabs audiobooks on Spotify

• After creating their digital voice-narrated audiobook in ElevenLabs, authors simply download the file package and upload to Findaway Voices by Spotify.
• Following a standard review, the book will go live on Spotify, as well as other retailers that accept digital voice-narrated titles from Findaway Voices.

For listeners, all digitally narrated titles will be clearly marked in the metadata on Spotify and across the other retailers where Findaway Voices distributes. The book description will be prepended with the first sentence stating, “This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.”

We previously announced support for digital voice-narrated content created with Google Play Books, and will continue to find ways for more authors and publishers to make and distribute their audiobook content to Spotify. To learn more, be sure to visit elevenlabs.io.
