What is ElevenLabs?
ElevenLabs specializes in creating natural-sounding speech synthesis and text-to-speech software, using AI and deep learning.
The simple to use web software allows you to enter in your script and select from over two dozen voice personalities. Each voice has separate settings that can adjust Stability (more variable to more stable), Similarity (low to high) and Style Exaggeration (none to exaggerated). Nudging each of these settings a bit can produce very different outcomes. Sometimes words are over enunciated, extended in length, and sometimes a nervous chuckle get thrown in. But the results are highly realistic and ideal for short passages such as a voicemail greeting or video narration.
Over the holidays, there was a spot-on “Santa” character that was as boisterous and jolly as you can get.
Voice Options
The Voice Library provides user adjusted voices that you can add to your default voices. Descriptions really help with finding the most suitable voice. For example: “Middle Aged Man With British Accent”. Tags feature attributes such as: wise, clam, sassy, formal, intense, modulated, pleasant — making it easier to find the ideal voice.
There’s also a multilingual speech model that’s able to generate life-like speech in 29 languages.
How Much Does ElevenLabs Cost?
Five different plans starting at $0 and maxing at $330 are available, offering more features such as better quality, voice cloning, analytics and support.
