NovelHive AI

NovelHive AI is a tool for authors and readers that converts a novel into an audiobook narrated by a narrator and character voices. Users upload a Word, EPUB, PDF, or TXT file up to 25 MB, and a Voice Director casts voices from a catalog of 86 English voices based on age, personality, and role. Users can preview the first chapter for free, with audio. The site also offers Start From an Idea, which uses a structured writing pipeline to generate a novel, cover, and audiobook from a prompt, and Author Agent, which edits prose from written instructions and shows changes as tracked diffs for approval. Audiobooks can be exported as M4B or MP3 on the web, and text as EPUB, PDF, or TXT. Narration is offered in 38 languages, and the site states that NovelHive does not claim ownership of uploaded or generated work and keeps uploads private to the user's account. Pricing is credit-based, with multi-voice narration stated at $0.75 per 10,000 words and credits starting at $0.10 each.
