What Is a Podfic Generator?

A Podfic Generator is an AI tool that transforms text into an audio performance that resembles how fan fiction is read aloud by a narrator.

  • It's similar to text-to-speech (TTS), but tuned for storytelling rather than generic narration.
  • It focuses on pacing, emotion, and clarity.
  • It is designed for fan fiction and personal creative use, not for commercial distribution of copyrighted works.

This is different from a podcast generator or audiobook generator, which are general tools to turn any content into long-form audio without fandom context.

Best Practices for Podfic Creation

To make the most of your podfic:

  • Break long passages into paragraphs for natural breathing and pacing.
  • Use character names consistently to help the AI's pronunciation.
  • Adjust voice speed to suit dialogue vs narrative sections.
  • Add descriptive pauses where appropriate.

These practices help the audio feel more expressive and human-like.
