About ZenMic
ZenMic converts written material into spoken audio. You paste a URL, document, topic or your own script, check the script before audio is produced, and generate multi-speaker audio with up to six speakers, many voices and support for a large number of languages, including cloning your own voice. The pitch is that every line can be edited, so facts can be fixed and lines rewritten before generation. It is aimed at ESL teachers, learning and development teams and podcast creators.
Finished audio can be downloaded as MP3 or published through a podcast RSS feed that works with Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Ready-made templates include a startup pitch debate, ESL real-world dialogue, a three-minute report summary and a tech news brief. The site compares itself with NotebookLM on script control and syndication. Starting is free with no credit card, and plans are on a pricing page.
