Spotify introduced a new AI-powered tool for self-publishing audiobooks on its Spotify for Authors platform, launching in beta this June with English support initially. This tool, powered by ElevenLabs, allows authors to create audiobooks without exclusivity, enabling wider distribution. Spotify is also expanding its platform to support 10 additional languages and enhancing its Audiobook+ subscription plans with higher listening limits and new options for students and families. These moves come as Spotify grows its audiobook catalog and subscriptions, aiming to boost user engagement and revenue in the audiobook market.
