ElevenLabs

Overview

ElevenLabs is an AI voice synthesis platform founded in 2022, known for industry-leading naturalness and emotional expressiveness in text-to-speech (TTS) and voice cloning. As of 2026, the flagship is Eleven v3, which supports expressive control via audio tags and multi-speaker dialogue generation. It is widely used by creators, publishers, game studios, call centers, and content localization teams.

Key Features

1. Eleven v3 — Most Expressive TTS Model

The latest model as of 2026 supports audio tags (e.g. [laughs], [whispers], [sighs]) inserted inline to control laughter, whispering, sighing, and emotional shifts, producing more natural pacing and intonation than earlier models.

2. Text to Dialogue API

A new endpoint designed for multi-speaker dialogue. Define speakers and lines in JSON and the API automatically manages speaker transitions, emotional changes, and interruptions.

3. Instant / Professional Voice Cloning

Two cloning options: Instant Voice Clone (Starter and up) from short samples, and Professional Voice Clone (Creator and up) from longer recordings for higher accuracy and emotional range. PVC optimization for v3 is still being rolled out as of 2026.

4. Multilingual Support

Supports 30+ languages, and the same cloned voice can speak across different languages, making it strong for localization and dubbing.
