News Summary: ElevenLabs Adds 200,000 Human-Narrated Titles; Readers Can Swap Narrators for AI Voices

This week's second story is less legally dense and full of plot twists than our first. But no less important. At the center of it is ElevenLabs, the AI-generated voice giant. You will recall that ElevenLabs was in the news last week because of its audiobook partnership with Spotify. This week, a reminder that ElevenLabs is, itself, an audiobook platform thanks to its Eleven Reader app.

News Summary: ElevenLabs Launches End-to-End Audiobook Production Tool Following London Summit

ElevenLabs is a company I've reported on a lot, but this time they really are in the spotlight following their recent summit. As a reminder, ElevenLabs is the tech giant that specializes in AI-generated voice production. It sells its services into various sectors, but the area of real interest to us is audiobooks, where the company offers various options for voice narration in different accents of different languages. Most significantly, ElevenLabs works with Findaway Voices by Spotify to enable indie authors (and others) to produce audiobooks for the streaming platform.

I love love love listening to text. It's very enjoyable to read long text by listening to it, and I love ElevenReader.

But for some awful reason, Eleven Labs just straight up refuses to read any code. A lot of my favorite blogs are code blogs and if there is any text which is formatted as code like `this` then the reader just strips it out, which makes for very confusing sentences.

Thanks to #ElevenReader app narration, I've explored more books than I'd ever have time to read myself.

Yet, I often wonder: does listening #book offer the same depth of understanding as turning pages?

The convenience is undeniable, but perhaps something subtle is missed when words aren't absorbed visually. Maybe true insight requires the quiet intimacy of #reading.
