AI-voiced books appear in Apple’s iBooks App

Several of these books are currently available to users. They are marked with an indication of the voice acting by one of the "digital voices".

While publishing a book on the service, a publisher can allow the voice acting. Afterwards, an audio track appears, which is created by artificial intelligence: the neural network automatically converts the text of the book into the audio track.

Apple has developed different AI voices for different genres, so not all works may be voiced at the moment. The spectrum will expand in the future. The company says that the process of voice over by a neural network takes up to one month, since the service employees do some work manually. Along with the neural network voice over, the author of the book can add in the iBooks a classic human voice over.
