ElevenLabs

Overview

ElevenLabs is an AI audio platform built around realistic speech, spanning text-to-speech, instant voice cloning, dubbing and speech-to-text. Its text-to-speech models range from a low-latency Flash model to more expressive multilingual models, and voices can be cloned from a short sample, designed from a prompt or picked from a large shared library. Dubbing carries a speaker's performance across languages, while a separate sound-effects tool and a Voice Isolator that strips background noise round out the audio toolkit. Everything is available through developer APIs, and the platform also offers conversational voice agents for phone, chat and other channels.

Best for realistic long-form narration, dubbing and voice cloning.

Best for teams and developers who need high-quality synthetic speech across many languages, whether for narration, dubbing or in-app voices. Fast, natural output, instant cloning and a broad API make it a common default for voice, though it is less suited to real-time, live conversation than tools built specifically for low latency. Commercial rights begin with the paid Starter tier rather than the free plan.

Key Facts

Features

Voice cloning

Yes, from a sample of around one minute

Real-time use

Less suited to real-time and live conversation

Languages

30+ languages

Speech-to-speech and dubbing

Yes, speech-to-speech and dubbing

Editing and controls

Stability set to Creative, Natural or Robust, speed from 0.7x to 1.2x, audio tags such as [whispers] or [excited] to direct delivery, a seed value for repeatable output, and pronunciation set through IPA, phoneme tags or an uploaded pronunciation dictionary

Consent and trust

Professional voice cloning is gated behind technological verification of the speaker, cloning of celebrity and other high-risk voices is blocked, and an AI Speech Classifier tells whether a clip was made with ElevenLabs

API

Yes

What it does

Sound effects, in a tool of their own

Noise removal and repair

Voice Isolator, which separates voice from background

Mastering and loudness

No, there is no mastering or loudness stage; the audio tools generate and clean up material rather than finish a mix

Where it runs

Web app plus API; the sound effects generator and the model behind Voice Isolator are both reachable programmatically

Also included

AI music generation and a soundboard generator, alongside the text to speech and voice cloning the rest of the platform is built on
