Librivox

About

Our mission is to make all books in the public domain available, narrated by real people and distributed for free, in audio format on the internet.

Volunteer Opportunities

LibriVox volunteers read and record chapters of books in the public domain (books no longer under copyright) in the USA, and make them available for free on the Internet. Practically, this means we record books published 95 full years ago or longer. All our recordings (including yours, if you volunteer for us) are also donated into the public domain.

We record books in all languages.

You do not need any prior experience to volunteer for LibriVox, nor do you need to audition or send us samples. All you need is your voice, some free software, your computer, and maybe an inexpensive microphone.

All LibriVox activity (book selection, project management, discussion, etc) happens on our Forum, and you'll need to register there to join us. Our forum members are a friendly bunch, and questions will be answered there quickly (much more quickly than if you send us an email!).

We do suggest you read the document below, before registering and posting on the'Forum, to get an idea of how everything works.
