A Manuscript That Can Only Be Read Never Reaches Half of Its Audience
Some people would rather listen than read — while driving, working out, tidying the house, or winding down before bed.
If your manuscript — a book, educational material, da'wah content — only exists as text, you're losing half the people who are already ready to listen.
I turn your manuscript into a quality audiobook, in Indonesian or English — without renting a studio, and without paying professional narrator rates that typically run $200–$500 per finished hour.

Two Voice Options, Matched to Your Needs and Budget
🎙️ AI Voice (Recommended)
Uses premium text-to-speech tools with a very natural sound — voice type and tone can be tailored to your manuscript's character. The generated audio is then manually edited to sync pauses, intonation, and flow, so it's genuinely pleasant to listen to — not just generated and left as is.
🎤 Manual Dubbing (Real Human Voice)
For manuscripts that need a personal touch — such as dialogue-heavy characters or deeper emotional nuance. The scheme is flexible, tailored during consultation based on your manuscript's complexity and needs. Mention it when ordering if you'd like this option.
Manual Dubbing typically starts from $150 per finished audio hour ($2.50 per minute); the final quote is confirmed after consultation, since it depends on the complexity of your manuscript and the voice talent involved.
One Important Requirement
The manuscript to be turned into an audiobook must already be in the target language — an Indonesian manuscript for an Indonesian audiobook, an English manuscript for an English audiobook.
If your manuscript isn't in the target language yet, no problem — I can help first through my translation service, then move on to the audiobook.
Investment
Priced per minute of final audio. As a guide, ±150 words of manuscript usually produces about 1 minute of audio. A 1,500-word article, for example, comes to about 10 minutes — just $10.
| Audio Duration | Indonesian | English |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 10 minutes | $10 (minimum charge) | $10 (minimum charge) |
| 30 minutes | $22.50 | $30 |
| 60 minutes | $45 | $60 |
| More than 60 minutes | Negotiable, based on duration | Negotiable, based on duration |
The prices above are for the AI Voice option. For Manual Dubbing, the rate is confirmed after we discuss your needs (see above for the typical starting point).
Longer projects are quoted individually before work begins. For a full-length book, that's a small fraction of what studio narration typically costs — and every day it stays silent is a day your listeners spend with someone else's voice.
Your audio, your rights: you receive full rights to the finished audio, including commercial use and sale.
Final format: standard MP3/WAV files.
Turnaround: AI Voice audio up to 30 minutes is usually completed within 2-3 working days. For Manual Dubbing or longer durations, a time estimate is given upfront.
Payment methods: Wise, RIA Money Transfer, Touch 'n Go eWallet, Topremit, and Remitly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my manuscript become an audiobook even if it isn't in the target language yet?
It needs to be translated into the target language first. I can help with that through my translation service before moving on to audiobook production.
Does the AI Voice sound like a robot?
No. The tools used are premium text-to-speech with a very natural result, which is then manually edited for sync so the flow is pleasant to listen to.
When should I choose Manual Dubbing over AI Voice?
If your manuscript has many dialogue characters or needs deeper emotional nuance, Manual Dubbing may be the better fit. It typically starts from $150 per finished audio hour, with the final scheme and rate confirmed during consultation.
Can I sell the audiobook commercially?
Yes. You receive full rights to the finished audio, including commercial use and sale.
Can you upload it to Audible, Spotify, or other platforms?
I deliver standard MP3/WAV files and don't handle platform-specific formatting or uploads. Each platform has its own technical requirements and policies (including rules on AI-narrated content), so please check the requirements of the platform you plan to use before publishing.
What file format will I receive?
Standard MP3 or WAV files.
How long does it take?
AI Voice up to 30 minutes usually takes 2-3 working days. For Manual Dubbing or longer durations, a time estimate is given upfront.
What payment methods do you accept?
Wise, RIA Money Transfer, Touch 'n Go eWallet, Topremit, and Remitly.
