Start publishing freeStructure your audiobook the way readers expect — upload each chapter as its own file, in order, with its own cover if you want one.
Automatic transcription means listeners can search for a word or phrase and jump straight to the chapter and timestamp it's spoken.
An audiobook edition sits under the same creator profile as your ebook and any companion podcast — readers who find one find the rest.

Upload your narrated audio chapter by chapter from the Qityol dashboard. Add a cover and chapter structure, set your price, and publish — Qityol automatically transcribes each chapter once it's uploaded.
You provide the narration — your own voice, a hired narrator, or a co-host. Qityol doesn't currently generate narration for you; its role starts once you've recorded the audio: transcription, chapter structure, distribution, and payouts.
Every chapter you upload is transcribed and indexed. Listeners can search inside your audiobook by the word, follow a live transcript while listening, and find your book through search results your competitors' un-transcribed audio can't match.
No. Amazon's ACX requires exclusive distribution for up to seven years to access its 40% royalty tier. Qityol never requires exclusivity at any royalty tier — publish the same audiobook on Qityol and anywhere else at the same time.
You keep 80% of the net sale amount after payment processing fees — the same royalty rate as ebooks and podcasts. There's no separate, lower audiobook tier.
Free to start. No exclusivity. 80% of every sale goes directly to you.
