Only turn work you have the right to use into audio.

Narrate is a production tool. Uploading a manuscript does not transfer its copyright to Narrate, and generating audio does not give you rights you did not already have.

Your confirmation

When you upload, you confirm that you wrote the work, own the rights, or have the explicit permission or licence needed to convert it into an audiobook and distribute it in the ways you choose. This includes permission for translations, adaptations, excerpts, character voices, and any third-party material in the manuscript.

What is not allowed

Do not upload pirated books, copied manuscripts, unpublished material belonging to another author, or content that infringes copyright, privacy, publicity, or contractual rights. Do not clone a voice unless it is your own or you have the voice owner’s clear permission.

The audiobook and your voice profile

Your manuscript remains yours. Uploading a manuscript does not transfer its copyright to Narrate, and producing an audiobook does not remove any rights you already held.

Rights in the finished audiobook are documented before production. The rights and permitted uses for the finished audiobook — including delivery, hosting, distribution, and any usage terms that depend on the voice option you choose — are set out in your production agreement and confirmed with you before narration begins.

Your voice profile is separate, and scoped by you. We create a voice profile only from a sample you provide, and only for the scope you authorize: the current project, or future Narrate projects if you choose to keep it available. You can request deletion of the stored voice profile at any time. We never use your voice profile for another author or another project without your consent.

Sharing and QR codes

Your audiobook is private by default. A QR code or share link makes the selected audiobook available to anyone who receives it. You are responsible for where you print, send, or publish those links and for having the distribution rights required for that audience.

Reports and action

If you believe content on Narrate infringes your rights, contact us with the book title, the link or account details, the work you own, and a good-faith explanation of the issue. We may restrict sharing, disable access, or preserve information as required while we review a report.
