What ElevenLabs does
- Text-to-speech generates voice across 30+ languages. The same voice carries across languages when you switch.
- Voice cloning copies a real person's voice from a short audio sample. The platform requires consent records for cloning a non-public voice.
- The voice library hosts community-contributed voices. You rent a voice, pay royalties to its creator, and use it commercially.
- Studio composes longer pieces with multiple speakers. Audiobook narrators and podcast producers use it for dialog and scene transitions.
- An API gives developers programmatic access. SDKs cover Python, Node, and most HTTP clients.
When to use ElevenLabs
- Creators narrate a video script in a voice that matches the brand.
- Localisation teams translate audio into another language and keep the original speaker.
- Writers turn blog posts and newsletters into audio editions.
