Listen mode
Every story here
is an audiobook
Press play on any chapter and an AI narrator reads it aloud — in a voice you pick from 26, at the speed you want, with the text highlighting along as it reads. No waiting for an author to record anything: if it’s written, it’s listenable.
Subscribers get the full production: full-cast narration gives every character their own voice, radio-play style, and auto-advance carries you chapter to chapter. Choose your delivery — Standard, Soft, or a late-night Whisper.
Writers get it both ways: hear your own drafts read back while you work, and when you publish, your readers can listen from chapter one — plus a shareable ~60-second audio trailer for eligible stories.
All AI audio is disclosed and machine-marked as AI-generated. Explicit audio requires age verification and isn’t available in all regions.
Questions
Can I listen to any story on FictionMaker?
Any chapter you can read, you can hear — press Listen and an AI narrator reads it aloud with paragraph-by-paragraph highlighting and speed control. Explicit chapters additionally require age verification and aren't available in all regions.
Do I need an account to try it?
No — open any public story and press play for a narrated sample, no sign-up required. A free account unlocks full-chapter narration (one fresh chapter a day; replays of already-narrated chapters are always free).
What is full-cast narration?
Radio-play style: the AI separates narration from dialogue and gives every character their own voice from a 26-voice roster, with the narrator voice chosen by you or the story's author. Full cast is a subscriber feature; single-narrator Listen works on every plan.
Can I choose the voice and delivery?
Yes — pick from 26 AI voices with previews, and choose a delivery style: Standard, Soft, or Whisper. Your picks persist as you move through chapters, and subscribers get auto-advance to listen straight through a story.
Is this real AI narration or pre-recorded audio?
Real AI narration, generated on demand and cached so replays are instant. All AI audio on FictionMaker is disclosed and machine-marked as AI-generated.
What are audio trailers?
Authors of eligible published stories (spice 1-3) can generate a shareable ~60-second audio trailer — the story's opening hook, narrated, with a spoken outro. They play right on the story page and in social link previews.
