About ElevenLabs

ElevenLabs is an AI audio company that builds its own speech models and sells them through a web app, a developer API and a voice-agent platform. The core product is text-to-speech: users type or paste text, pick a voice from a library or clone one, and generate narration in dozens of languages. Newer Eleven v4 models cover 90+ languages, and Flash v2.5 offers about 75 ms latency for real-time use.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use ElevenLabs voiceovers commercially?

Paid plans, starting with Starter at $6 per month, include a commercial license. The Free plan does not, and published Free-plan output must credit ElevenLabs. Using a cloned voice commercially also requires permission from the voice's owner.

How many languages does ElevenLabs support?

It depends on the model. Eleven v4 and Scribe v2 cover 90+ languages, Eleven v3 covers 70+, Flash v2.5 covers 32, and Multilingual v2 covers 29.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan gives 10,000 credits per month, roughly 10 minutes of text-to-speech, and does not include a commercial license.

What is the difference between ElevenLabs and ElevenReader?

ElevenReader is a separate free reading app for iPhone, iPad, Android and web that reads uploaded documents, articles and books aloud. ElevenLabs is the main platform for generating audio and using the API.

Does ElevenLabs have an API?

Yes. ElevenAPI is a REST API with official Python and TypeScript SDKs and WebSocket streaming. Flash v2.5 has about 75 ms model latency, excluding network time.

What happens when I run out of credits?
