Amazon KDP has just expanded its virtual voice audiobook feature to support French, Italian, and Castilian Spanish, in addition to Latin American Spanish. This is a major opportunity for authors who have used GlobeScribe to translate their books into these languages.

With this new update, you can:

Use KDP’s virtual voice tool to create AI-narrated audiobooks

  • Choose from 16 new voices across multiple languages and accents
  • Publish your audiobook directly to Audible, reaching millions of listeners

To create your audiobook, log into your KDP account, select your translated eBook, and click “Add Audible audiobook with virtual voice.” It’s fast, free, and requires no voice recording or editing.

Translate Your Book and Reach Global Listeners

If you've already translated your book with GlobeScribe, you're ready to take the next step. Simply upload your file to KDP and generate your audiobook. If you're just getting started, GlobeScribe can quickly translate your book into French, Italian, or Spanish, ready for narration.

KDP’s virtual voice audiobooks are currently distributed only on Audible, Amazon’s exclusive audiobook platform. But what if you want to reach more listeners?
