# How to turn a finished manuscript into an audiobook with VoiceStudio

Repo: [debpalash/VoiceStudio](https://github.com/debpalash/VoiceStudio) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 1 hour | Basis: Seen in the wild

Use the audiobook workflow to render a long text into narrated audio with your chosen voice.

**Who it is for:** Self-publishing author with a finished manuscript and no budget for a narrator

**The problem:** Professional narration costs far more than a first-time author can spend.

**The outcome:** A narrated audiobook rendered locally from the manuscript text.

## Steps

1. Install the app and open the Stories and audiobooks area.
2. Paste or load your manuscript and choose a voice.
3. Start the render and let it run to completion.
4. Listen through the output and fix any chapters that read badly.

## Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Use debpalash/VoiceStudio to render <manuscript file> as an audiobook with <voice>. Verify that every chapter produced audio and that the final file plays through without gaps.
```

## Caveat

Long renders are heavy; users have reported progress-on-resume bugs and overlapping renders deleting each other's audio, so render one book at a time and keep a backup of finished chapters.
