Melania Trump Launches AI-Narrated Audiobook
First Lady Melania Trump has announced the publication of an audiobook, titled "Melania: The Audiobook," which utilizes advanced AI technology. The audiobook features an AI-generated replica of her voice, developed by ElevenLabs under her supervision, and is set to hit the markets later this year.
In a statement released through her social media channels, Mrs. Trump expressed her excitement about the innovative publication. "I am honored to present 'Melania: The Audiobook' to the public, allowing listeners to experience my memoir in a unique way that preserves the essence of my speaking style," she said.
The AI-generated voice in the audiobook emulates Mrs. Trump's distinctive patterns and inflections, eliminating the need for extensive recording sessions or hiring a professional narrator. The technology used is voice synthesis, which played a crucial role in the development of the AI-generated voice.
The audiobook covers the contents of Melania Trump's memoir, released prior to the 2024 Election Day. In her book, Mrs. Trump advocates for abortion rights, emphasizing the significance of women's control over their bodies and the need for compassion. The audiobook lasts approximately 7 hours and 1 minute.
Initial availability will be limited to the English language, but plans are underway to release the audiobook in various languages, such as Spanish, Hindi, and Portuguese, later in the year. This publishing innovation aligns with broader industry trends where AI is increasingly utilized to democratize audiobook production.
Some observers have suggested that a potential selling point for the project could have been Melania Trump narrating the audiobook herself, adding a personal touch to the production. However, the AI-generated voice has been praised for its ability to capture the essence of Mrs. Trump's speaking style, further setting the audiobook apart in the publishing industry.
Apart from the audiobook, Melania Trump has several other lucrative projects in the pipeline. Her memoirs, titled "Melania," are due for release at the end of 2024. She is also filming a docuseries produced by Amazon, for which she has reportedly received a multimillion-dollar contract. Mrs. Trump's husband, Donald Trump, serves as the current U.S. President.
