## FAQ

**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.
