ElevenLabs is an AI audio platform for text-to-speech, voice cloning, dubbing, music, and conversational voice agents, serving creators, developers, and enterprises in 90+ languages.
About
ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company that builds audio generation technology, launched in January 2023 with its first human-like AI voice model. It addresses the time and cost of producing voiceovers, audiobooks, localized content, and voice-driven customer service by generating realistic speech and other audio from text.
The company organizes its offering into three platforms built on shared research: ElevenCreative for content creation, ElevenAgents for conversational agents, and ElevenAPI for developers. ElevenCreative combines text-to-speech, voice cloning, dubbing, music, sound effects, and image/video generation in one editor. ElevenAgents deploys agents that talk, type, and take action across channels such as phone, chat, email, and WhatsApp. ElevenAPI exposes the underlying models, including a Text to Speech API, a Speech to Text API, and a Music API, with an MCP server for connecting AI clients. The voice library contains more than 17,500 voices across 90+ languages.
