Convert your book, manual or SOP into audio
A book finds new readers when it can be listened to on a commute. A procedure gets followed when staff can hear it while their hands are busy. INKFLOW narrates your finished manuscript, or any book written here, and it does the same for training manuals, SOPs, policies and patient information.
Documents are not simply read out. Before narration, a manual is turned into a listening script: each section is announced, numbered steps are read as "Step 1", "Step 2", safety warnings are announced before the step they belong to, tables are read row by row, and wherever the written version has a picture or diagram the narrator says "see figure 3.2 in the written document", so the listener can find it.
Convert to audioHow it works

- 2A listening script for documentsManuals, SOPs, policies and clinical documents are converted so steps, warnings, tables and figure references make sense by ear. Every fact and value is kept word for word.
- 3Narrated and deliveredNarrated with a natural AI voice and delivered as audio files, one per chapter or section. The delivery time is stated before you pay.
What makes it different
Books and manuscripts
Novels, memoirs and series, written here or brought from elsewhere. Narrated chapter by chapter in the language the book is written in.
Training manuals and SOPs
Staff can listen to a procedure before a shift or while learning a machine. Steps are numbered aloud and warnings come first, exactly as in the written version.
Healthcare and care documents
Policies, procedures and patient information for hospitals, GP practices and care homes, read in plain spoken English. Audio supports staff and readers who find long documents hard to read.
"See figure 1.6"
Pictures, CAD views and diagrams cannot be heard, so the narration points to them by number. The audio and the written document always match.
Read exactly as written
The narration reads the text verbatim. Nothing is summarised, skipped or reworded, so a value in the audio is the value on the page.
Honest about AI
The narration is AI-generated and we say so. If you publish an audiobook, use a store that accepts AI narration with disclosure, such as Google Play Books or Apple Books.
How a manual is read aloud
Section 4. Checking the fridge temperature.
Warning. A medicine kept outside its temperature range may not work. Do not use it until you have advice.
Step 1. Read the min/max thermometer.
Figure 4.1, the fridge chart. See figure 4.1 in the written document.
Questions
Can you convert my existing manuscript to an audiobook?
Yes. Paste or upload the finished manuscript on the order page and it is narrated chapter by chapter. It is priced by its real length, shown before you pay.
Can a technical manual or SOP really work as audio?
Yes, because it is converted into a listening script first: steps are numbered aloud, warnings are announced before the step, tables are read row by row, and pictures are referenced by figure number.
Is the narration a human voice?
No. It is high-quality AI narration, and we are open about that. Some audiobook stores do not accept AI narration; Google Play Books and Apple Books accept it with disclosure.
Which languages?
The narration follows the language your text is written in. British English is the default for English text.
Can I have the written manual and the audio together?
Yes. Order the manual or SOP, then order audio of it; the figure numbers in the audio match the written document.
