Many of them are already seeing a sharp drop off in business.

AI has the ability to create human-sounding recordings – at assembly-line speed – while bypassing at least part of the services of the human professionals who for years have made a living with their voices.Tanya Eby has been a full-time voice actor and professional narrator for 20 years. She has a recording studio in her home.

"All these new companies are popping up who are not as ethical," she said, and some use voices found in databases without paying for them."They take your voice, my voice, five other people's voices combined that just creates a separate voice... They say that it doesn't belong to anybody."Speechki, a Texas-based start-up, uses both its own recordings and voices from existing databanks, said CEO Dima Abramov.

The giants of US technology, deeply involved in the explosively developing field of AI, are all pursuing the promising business of digitally narrated audio books.Early this year, Apple announced it was moving into AI-narrated audio books, a move it said would make the"creation of audio books more accessible to all," notably independent authors and small publishers.
