What is ElevenLabs?
ElevenLabs is the leading platform for AI voice generation. It produces the most natural-sounding synthetic speech available today — voices that carry emotion, nuance, and personality. Whether you need narration, character voices, or real-time voice cloning, ElevenLabs is the standard.
Key Features
Text-to-Speech
Convert any text into lifelike speech with a library of pre-made voices or your own cloned voices. Control stability, clarity, and expressiveness to dial in exactly the tone you want.
Voice Cloning
Upload a short audio sample and ElevenLabs creates a digital replica of that voice. The clone captures accent, cadence, and vocal character with remarkable accuracy. Instant cloning works with as little as one minute of audio; professional cloning delivers studio-quality results.
Voice Library
Access a community marketplace of voices created and shared by other users. Hundreds of unique voices across languages, accents, ages, and styles — ready to use immediately.
Multilingual Support
Generate speech in 29+ languages with native-quality pronunciation. The same voice can speak across languages, maintaining its character and tone.
Projects & Long-Form Audio
ElevenLabs isn't just for short clips. The Projects feature lets you produce full audiobooks, podcasts, and long-form content with consistent voice quality throughout.
Why It Matters for the Hackathon
If your project involves any form of audio output — narration, accessibility features, character dialogue, podcast generation, voice interfaces — ElevenLabs is the most capable tool available. The free tier gives you 10,000 characters per month, which is plenty for prototyping.
