Overview
A convincing voice in minutes, with no studio, no voice actor and no editing session. ElevenLabs turns text into expressive speech across more than seventy languages, with control over tone, pacing and pauses. A voice library, cloning from a short sample and voice design from a written description remove the need to find a voice elsewhere. Image, video and avatar generation sits alongside the audio, so a UGC-style ad can be assembled without a shoot. Dubbing carries the original speaker's delivery into the target language, so a video travels abroad without being reshot. Studio brings voice, music and sound effects into one editor to produce a finished audiobook or podcast. Agents then take calls and chats, with guardrails and simulated conversations to check their behaviour before they go live. What sets this AI audio and voice platform apart is that the foundational speech and transcription models are built in house, and the same voice is available in the interface and through the API.
Key features
- Expressive text to speech in more than 70 languages, with tags that set emotion and pacing.
- Voice cloning from an audio sample, or a brand new voice designed from a written prompt.
- Image, video and avatar generation and editing in the same workspace as the audio.
- Transcription that separates speakers and timestamps the text down to the character.
- Music and sound effect generation from a prompt written in plain language.
- Conversational agents deployable over phone, chat or messaging, with resolution rates tracked.
Best use cases
- A creator dubs videos for an audience abroad without recording anything again.
- An independent author has a book narrated by a voice they designed themselves.
- A support team hands routine after-hours requests to a voice agent.
- A marketing team assembles a short ad, from the visuals to the voiceover, with no film crew.
- A student listens to PDFs and articles during a commute instead of reading them.
- A developer adds voice to an app through the API, with no model to train or host.
Pros
- The foundational speech and transcription models are developed in house by ElevenLabs.
- The same voice works in the creative editor, in the agents and in the API, with no vendor switch.
- The fastest model runs under a hundred milliseconds of latency, which makes real-time conversation workable.
- Music is cleared for commercial use from the paid plans upward, not on the free plan, with Enterprise required for film, television and major studio games.
- A free plan with no time limit lets anyone test speech generation and voices before paying.
