ElevenLabs

What ElevenLabs is

ElevenLabs is an AI speech synthesis platform focused on natural, emotionally expressive speech. It offers text-to-speech across many languages, two voice cloning modes described as instant and professional, and additional capabilities for voice conversion, voice isolation, AI dubbing and multilingual translation, with APIs and SDKs for integration.

It is widely used for podcasts, audiobooks, video dubbing, customer service and education.

What you can do with it

• Generate narration in many languages
• Create a consistent voice for a brand or series
• Dub video into other languages
• Embed speech in an application

Who it is for

• Content and audiobook producers
• Brands producing international audio
• Developers adding voice to products

What to watch out for

• Voice cloning requires the speaker's consent; cloning someone without permission risks legal action and enables fraud
• Synthetic voice in ads, news or customer service should be disclosed so listeners are not misled
• Commercial rights depend on your plan; check the licence before monetising output
• Generated audio can be indistinguishable from a real person, so keep records of what was synthetic and where it was used
