ElevenLabs is an AI audio platform for speech, voice cloning, transcription, music, and sound effects.
Core capabilities
The homepage splits the product into ElevenCreative, ElevenAgents, and ElevenAPI. Creative tools cover text to speech, music, sound effects, voice cloning, dubbing, and narration, and the page also lists image and video tools. Agents are described as voice or chat agents across phone, chat, email, and WhatsApp. The API page area names text to speech, speech to text, dubbing, sound effects, and music. The site says the voice library has 17,500+ voices and speech covers 90+ languages. Model names on the homepage include Eleven Flash, Eleven Multilingual, and Eleven v4.
How to use it
Create an account on elevenlabs.io and use the web studio, or call the API with an API key. Pick a voice or clone one, enter text, and generate audio. Agent setup is a separate area for configuring conversational agents.
Who it suits
It suits creators who need voiceovers, dubs, music, or sound effects, and developers who want a speech or agent API. Image and video tools are extra; the core product is audio.
