ElevenLabs

Text-to-speech AI that sounds like a real human. Voice cloning, multilingual audio, and professional voiceovers in seconds.

What it is

ElevenLabs converts written text into spoken audio that sounds like a real human — not the robotic voice of older text-to-speech tools.

It also offers voice cloning: upload a minute of audio from any voice, and ElevenLabs can generate new speech in that voice. It supports 29+ languages.

How to use it

1. Go to elevenlabs.io and create a free account

2. Choose a voice from their library (or clone your own)

3. Paste your script in the text box

4. Adjust speed and stability sliders

5. Generate and download

The whole process takes about 30 seconds once you have your script.

Voice cloning

With 1-2 minutes of clean audio, ElevenLabs can clone a voice with high accuracy. The clone can then speak anything you type.

Use cases: create a consistent brand voice for all your content, generate content in your own voice without being on camera, produce multilingual versions of content in your voice.

Best business use cases

**Content voiceovers** — turn written content into audio/video without recording yourself

**Product demos** — professional-sounding product walkthroughs

**Podcast production** — generate drafts, edit the text, regenerate the audio

**Multilingual content** — reach audiences in their language without translation agencies

**Accessibility** — make written content available as audio

Pricing

Free — 10,000 characters/month (~10 minutes of audio)

Creator ($11/mo) — 100,000 characters, commercial use, voice cloning

Pro ($22/mo) — 500,000 characters, highest quality models

Takeaway

ElevenLabs turns any script into professional audio in seconds. If you create video content, it's worth the $11/month.
