ElevenLabs
AI voice generator and voice agents platform
ElevenLabs is an AI voice platform for text to speech, voice cloning, speech to text, dubbing, and music and sound effect generation. A free plan includes 10k credits per month, and paid plans start at $6 per month as listed on its pricing page. It suits people who need text-to-speech output, want to clone their own voice, or need to transcribe audio.

What ElevenLabs does
Most of what ElevenLabs does starts from a script or a recording. Paste in text and it reads it aloud in 90+ languages, using a voice from its library of 17,500+ voices or a new one designed from a text prompt. Instant and professional voice cloning build a model of your own voice, or of a speaker who has given permission. Going the other direction, its Scribe speech-to-text model returns transcripts with speaker diarization and character-level timestamps.
Past narration, the product handles AI dubbing through Dubbing Studio, music generation with vocals or as instrumentals, sound effects backed by an SFX library, and a voice changer and voice isolator. The company sorts all of this into ElevenCreative for content work, ElevenAgents for conversational agents and ElevenAPI for developers. ElevenAgents is where you configure, deploy and monitor voice or chat agents that answer on phone, chat, email and WhatsApp.
Usage is metered in credits. Free gives 10k credits per month and 3 Projects in Studio; Starter adds a Commercial License and Instant Voice Cloning, and Professional Voice Cloning arrives on Creator. Developers reach the same models through APIs and a JavaScript SDK.
