Break a long audiobook's export into individual chapter files instead of one track. Required past roughly 8,000 segments, and useful anytime.
“VocalLab AI nailed the process, and the output is better. Way better. I love the ability to steer voices and ease of adding emotions/ sighs/ coughs.”
“I can upload a Word document, select automatic casting, click a button, and out comes a fully dramatised audiobook with different voices and performances.”

About this tool
Everything you need to know about Audiobook Chapter Splitter
An audiobook chapter splitter breaks a long manuscript's finished narration into individual chapter files instead of one continuous track. Past roughly 8,000 generated segments a book switches to exporting chapter by chapter rather than as a single file, and working in separate files also means re-rendering one section after a fix without touching the rest of the book.

Why did my export switch to separate chapter files?
Once a book's audio passes roughly 8,000 generated segments, the export moves from one combined file to individual chapter downloads automatically.
Can I still get one combined audiobook file for a shorter book?
Yes, a book can export as a single merged MP3 (optionally with chapter markers) or an M4B with chapter markers embedded, plus one combined SRT.
Do the split files keep the same voice and settings?
Yes, every chapter file uses the same cast, model and export settings as the rest of the book.
Can I re-download just one chapter after fixing a typo?
Yes, regenerate the corrected chapter and export just that file without touching the others.
Is there a limit to how many chapter files one book can produce?
No fixed limit — a manuscript with dozens of chapters exports the same number of individual files.
