Audify or a studio narrator: which is right for your book?
A great human narrator is still the gold standard for a flagship title. Audify is for the many books that would otherwise never be heard.
| LEXA Audify | Studio narrator | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to a finished chapter | Minutes | Days to weeks, including booking and editing |
| Cost | A plan priced in hours of finished audio (see Pricing) | Narrator, studio and editing fees per finished hour |
| Fixing a word | Tap the word; only that passage is re-recorded | Re-booking the narrator and studio |
| Read-along video | Made automatically for every chapter | Made separately by an editor |
| Quranic verses | Never machine-voiced; pause in the audio | Recited by the narrator, if qualified |
| Performance and emotion | Good, consistent; four reading styles | Best possible with a skilled narrator |
