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.

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