It’s no secret that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has started to affect the way we work as audiobook narrators. Usually, posts like this focus on how AI negatively impacts the work that we do. Here, I will talk about something positive.
Unfortunately, it has become more and more common for audiobooks to be handed off to narrators without any pronunciation research having been done. This can increase our workload manifold since we are often required to cite the sources for all of our pronunciations.
