How ElevenLabs works
Section titled “How ElevenLabs works”https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/FJlcJWlLgC8?rel=0
ElevenLabs provides AI voice infrastructure: text-to-speech, speech-to-text, voice cloning, conversational agents, and generative audio. You can use it in four ways, suited to different audiences.
ElevenCreative is a no-code web application where creators, producers, and editors generate voiceovers, music, dubs, and studio projects directly in the browser.
ElevenAgents is the platform for designing and operating conversational voice agents, with a visual builder for non-technical users and full programmatic control for developers.
ElevenAPI exposes every capability as a REST interface with official Python and TypeScript SDKs, so developers can embed voice into their own applications and workflows.
Reception AI is a ready-to-deploy AI phone receptionist for small and medium businesses that answers calls, books appointments, and manages day-to-day operations from a single dashboard.
Concepts
Section titled “Concepts”Voices are the speech persona used in audio generation. Each voice has a unique ID — for example, JBFqnCBsd6RMkjVDRZzb — that you select in the dashboard or pass in API requests. ElevenLabs maintains a library of 10,000+ voices. You can also clone a voice from an audio recording or generate one from a text description.
Models control the quality, latency, and language coverage of generated audio. eleven_v4 produces the most expressive output across 90+ languages. eleven_v4_turbo targets real-time use at median inference latency of ~100ms. Each capability — speech-to-text, music, sound effects — has its own dedicated model.
Credits are the unit of consumption shared across every product. Text-to-speech costs one credit per character of input text. Other operations are charged per second of audio processed. Credits reset monthly and unused credits roll over for up to two months. See pricing for a full breakdown.
