What it does

Text to Speech

Convert any text into natural sounding speech with over 10,000 voices. The latest Eleven v3 model supports 70+ languages with automatic detection. Choose from premade voices, community voices, celebrity voices from the Iconic Voices marketplace, or your own cloned voices.

Voice Cloning

Clone any voice from a short audio sample (as little as 30 seconds). Instant cloning captures the tone and style quickly. Professional cloning uses more samples for higher fidelity results.

Speech to Text (Scribe)

Transcribe audio and video in 90+ languages with word level timestamps, speaker identification (up to 32 speakers), and entity detection. The Scribe v2 model is one of the most accurate transcription systems available. Real time streaming mode has ~150ms latency.

Dubbing and Localization

Automatically dub videos into 32+ languages while preserving the original speaker's voice, emotion, and lip sync timing. Upload a video and get back a dubbed version within minutes.

Sound Effects Generation

Generate custom sound effects from text descriptions. Describe the sound you need and ElevenLabs creates it. Useful for video production, podcasts, game development, and creative projects.

Music Generation

Create original music from text prompts using Eleven Music. Describe the mood, genre, tempo, and instruments, and the model generates a full track with optional vocals in any language. Trained on licensed data for commercial use. Includes section level editing tools.

Conversational AI Agents

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • The most natural sounding text to speech available; voices are nearly indistinguishable from human speech in many cases
  • Voice cloning from as little as 30 seconds of audio; both instant and professional cloning options
  • Supports 70+ languages (v3 model) with automatic detection, making it easy to create multilingual content
  • Dubbing preserves the original speaker's voice characteristics across 32+ languages, not just a generic voice swap
  • Free tier is generous enough to try all features, and the ElevenReader app is completely free
  • Comprehensive API with low latency, suitable for real time voice agent applications
  • Rapidly expanding into music, sound effects, image, and video, becoming a full creative audio/visual platform

Cons

  • Character based pricing can get expensive at scale; 500,000 characters per month on the Pro plan ($99) is roughly 8 hours of audio
  • Voice cloning raises ethical concerns; while ElevenLabs requires consent verification, the technology can be misused
  • Free tier is limited to 10,000 characters per month (~10 minutes), which runs out quickly for regular use
  • Some voices have occasional artifacts or unnatural pauses, particularly with complex punctuation or unusual formatting
  • Enterprise conversational AI (ElevenAgents) pricing is not transparent; requires contacting sales
