Millie's Library Releases Audiobook Read to the End by Artificial Intelligence

Adding 500 New Titles Every Month Starting April

[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] Domestic reading platform Millie’s Library announced on the 17th that it has launched 100 AI-narrated full-length audiobooks. Starting with this release of 100 AI full-length audiobooks, Millie’s Library plans to introduce 500 AI full-length audiobooks every month from April.

The AI full-length audiobooks introduced by Millie’s Library allow listeners to hear the entire content of a book from beginning to end in AI-generated voice. The collection includes books from various genres, ranging from classics to essays, economics and business, and practical books. Representative classic works such as The Great Gatsby, The Old Man and the Sea, and Demian, as well as popular economics and business titles like The Future of Finance and Money Study Learned from the Super Rich, are also offered as AI full-length audiobooks.

Millie’s Library’s AI full-length audiobooks feature five AI voices developed by ‘Neosapiens,’ an AI-based media entertainment technology company partnered with Millie’s Library. These AI voices have also been used in the program ‘My Created Audiobook,’ which allows anyone to create their own audiobooks. Additionally, the AI full-length audiobooks are provided as ‘Visible Book Audiobooks,’ which simultaneously display the sentence currently being read in the audiobook as an e-book, enabling users to enjoy the audiobook content with greater focus.

Kim Taehyung, Team Leader of the Unicorn Team at Millie’s Library, said, “Millie’s Library continuously expands unique content so that individuals can enjoy books in various and convenient ways according to their lifestyles, needs, and preferences. By broadly offering audiobooks, we aim to lower the barriers to reading for non-readers and expand the range of choices for existing subscribers.”

Meanwhile, as restrictions on outdoor activities increase and content consumption trends rapidly change, Millie’s Library continues to introduce content that allows users to enjoy reading in diverse formats. As of March, the number of audiobooks and chatbooks (chat-based reading content) available on Millie’s Library exceeded 1,000 and 720 titles, respectively. In particular, audiobooks are offered in unique formats such as the user-participation service ‘My Created Audiobook’ and the combined e-book and audiobook format ‘Visible Book Audiobook.’
