AI-Powered Booth Lets Readers Narrate Audiobooks
Imagine going to a book fair and finding a special booth where you can record your voice reading a short part of a book.
After you do that, you can listen to that book being read aloud in your own voice!
This is what's happening at the New Delhi World Book Fair.
A company called Bookswagon has set up a booth with special technology that lets you hear books like 'Moby-Dick' or 'Ramayana' read in your voice.
Right now, you can only hear small parts of the books, but soon, you'll be able to listen to the whole book in your voice or even the voice of someone you love, like your grandma or parent.
It's like stepping into the story and becoming the narrator yourself!
Many people are excited to try this new way of enjoying books.
An AI-powered audiobook booth at the New Delhi World Book Fair allows readers to narrate their favorite stories in their own voice.
Bookswagon, an online bookstore, is behind this innovative feature, offering over 100 titles to choose from.
Readers record a 30-second voice sample, which is then used to narrate select excerpts from books like 'Moby-Dick' and 'Ramayana'.
The current demo version allows users to listen to short passages in their cloned voice, with a fully developed version expected within the next month.
The upcoming full version will enable listeners to experience entire audiobooks narrated in their own voice or that of a loved one, adding a personal and nostalgic touch.
