In the largest study of its kind, U.S. fiction audiobook listeners rated Spoken’s Multi-Cast™ AI narration higher than human narration.

We believe this is the publishing industry’s “black & white to color” moment — a signal of a real shift in what listeners want, and what it could mean for the industry at large.

So let’s talk about that.

Join Spoken Founder & CEO Phil Marshall and Megan Lazovick, VP at Edison Research at SSRS, for a candid roundtable on the results. Ask us anything. We’ll walk through the survey methodology, what we asked, and how respondents answered — plus what this means for backlist titles sitting untapped, and where things go from here.

If you’re an author or publisher wondering whether full-cast AI narration is a passing trend or publishing’s black & white to color moment, this is the conversation you’ll want to be part of.

Save your seat. You’ll want to be in the room for this one.
