It even emulates the human taking a breath between sentences. Revolutionary.
Can’t wait for British accents, such as David Attenborough or Jeremy Irons. Imagine a book narrated by over 40 characters and all with depth, charisma and consistency of character, flawless immersion into the story, and loose yourself.
you can do that now
I dont think its at that level yet
lol what are you talking about there is no depth or charisma possible with AI yet. We're far from that. It doesn't understand the context. What it can do, is convincingly simulate recognizable voices. It will not be able to match their charm, just their tics and mannerisms, which it will apply haphazardly to the text.
@Cameron L You're wrong if you think intonation is equivalent to charm. Again, the "AI" is just guessing at the most likely intonation for any given phrase. That's not charm, and these models are far from capable of the nuance, depth of character, or ingenuity of human artists.
@Cameron L Because ai can't reproduce writing or painting either? You seem to have a pretty low appreciation of art.
Incredible.. I prefer this smooth strong tonality to the overly dramatic performances I seem to be getting lately.
Best AI TTS right now
This is literally better than a lot of professional narrators I've heard on audible.
pretty sure the voice model IS an audiobook narrator. His voice sounds extremely familiar to me.
Dude the voice is made using a real human 💀
@@meliodas2667 it says made by ai wheres your proof that its not?
@@DoomCatcher made by ai that was created using a real human voice model, dude you are so dense
This Is a terrible company. The voices sound awful. Their business practices are atrocious. Don't give them access to your bank account unless you don't want to have control over when and how much they charge you. I have cancelled my subscription twice after using it only once during the "free trial" and they are still trying to charge me like I still have a subscription months later. I called the number that was on my bill and it ended up going to somebody who said it was a wrong number. Then they called back and said that the company was started by his brother and he used his number to get the company as listed in New York, but he didn't know his number was going to be given out. I cancelled that same day and they have been trying to charge me still for the last 2 months. They don't allow any way for you to talk to a real person and everything is automated. You can 'clone' your voice. But it won't sound like you unless you are a robot. A cold-hearted robot, with bad business practices. DON'T TRUST ELEVENLABS!
Very nice… Let’s hear Paul Allen’s voice.
Most of these comments are astroturf by employees. The voices are OK, but I'm sure they spend hundreds of thousands of characters to get just the right samples for this. I used this to make a few narrations 30 minutes to 50 minutes, and a 30 minute clip takes around 80,000 characters. I had to just accept so-so clips and move on because I didn't want to waste all of my quota regenerating the same text over and over again to get the perfect clip. Something like what they've done here would cost the average user around 300,000 to 400,000 characters. That would be 100 dollars per month to get a single 30 minute clip that sounds as good as this.
They charge you for a fixed number of characters each month, but then delete your unused quota at the next billing cycle.
They take WEEKS to respond to customer emails, and their emails have an attitude like "It doesn't matter what you think, other customers will replace you."
waiting for french voices
Amazing. As someone who is use to tts voices. This is sheer magic
Finally!!! Listenable TTS. Upload every book and I will swap my subscription of Audible to you now.
The AI sounds like the narrator of How I Met Your Mother.
Text-to-Voice is going to be massive.
They could have used a more pleasent voice as an example 😅😢
Great stuff nonetheless
The voice generated sounds very real and human. My only criticism is that I've heard much better narrations of Gatsby, which isn't a fault of the technology itself but rather the voice chosen doesn't fit well.
How natural does this sound to a native English speaker?
Very natural.
99% perfect
Flawless.
mind-blowingly good
If you told me it was a real person, I would believe it.
cool. from hearing some other funny samples of characters from games and stuff, it certainly seems like a powerful tool! everyone will use it for different stuff I'm sure and there will be good and bad cases upcoming like there were with other voice ai programs. but hey, that's progress.
Just for fun, I had ChatGPT write a brief horror story in a first-person narrative and then had an Eleven Labs voice read it. It all sounded professional. I imagine I could add some music and sound effects and render something suitable for a commercial release!
do you have british english voice? I've checked your demo on your first page but its all american :(
I wonder if the ai is a fan of professional wrestling.
This is beyond amazing. Narrators are 100% out of a job.
Or... a few of them with great voices will end up being filthy rich as the narrator of EVERY book!
This could end up being counted as royalties as they are literally still using someone's voice. But then laws and regulations regarding AI and Intellectual Property need to be expanded so while this is in gray area it could very well cause some chaos among VA's.
So this requires really expert knowledge of how to tweak the AI, it's not as simple as putting the script in and pressing 'narrate'
Being a voice actor is so much more than just speaking what's written on the page. I don't think anyone's out of a job
Indeed, it's the human performance and nuances that's pretty important. Maybe for more boring technical info readings AI will take over, but distinct narrative content will probably still be a human job
Very Impressive, I can't believe the rate this sector is growing at. Best of luck for your future endeavours ! I have a feeling this will blow up like gpt did😅
A.I is amazing.
The only way it properly blows up is if we're freely allowed to clone any voice we want. And it would blow up even bigger if we could map the generated voice to our own recorded (or live!) performance.
Going a bit further, if we could do deepfake video with the replacement actor's voice, that would be great. Imagine Jim Carey's voice coming out of Jim Carey's face that's been faked onto Jack Nicholson's face in The Shining like we see on Ctrl Shift Face's channel. That video is still great with the original audio, but it would be even creepier with Jim's voice mapped onto Jack's performance.
@@mjt1517 Main reason it didn't blow up so far is because not many people are aware of ElevenLabs, which is actually good. And i don't think it should ever be completely free, for several reasons.
@@Cahangir but eventually there will be a free version of this, just like with Stable Diffusion. Someone is going to develop it.
@@Cahangir Opensource version is already on the way. It's going to be free and eventually MUCH better. Can't wait.
I use Eleven Labs and love it so much. So impressive. I wish there was a tutorial section here for those of us wanting to use the API in various coding languages (c# for me). I'm quite aware that my c# skills are horrible and I know this is fairly simple to do but a 5 minute tutorial would literally take 5 minutes to make and post. Regardless - great work people!
And when I finished the credits what to do? Is it possible to buy them?
For some reason, when I give it text to read, it starts out loud in every clip, but gradually gets quieter and quieter until it's almost whispering. This would be fine when you're only creating one clip, but when you're trying to chain several clips together for a long passage, the sudden, jarring jump in reading volume over and over, gets pretty ugly.
Sounds like the guy who narrates a lot of the audible books
yes i can finally have all the Animorphs books in audio!!! i cant thank you guys enough!!!!!
Dam! No more SF movies with robots speaking like a robot anymore. Those were the days !!!!!
The android in Alien and Aliens never sounded robotic.
And the androids in the movie AI sounded human. There are others.
Nothing beats the HAL 9000, however.
And if you took paypal I'd pay to use the service, but you don't.
any way to download higher than 64 kbps off generated content?
Holy shit! I specifically chose The Great Gatsby to test out long passages with some of the voices I generated. Didn't think ElevenLabs would have made a video themselves to demonstrate their AI voice synthesis
Will this support other languages too? Like Japanese or Filipino language
For other languages you would probably need a completely new dataset in Filipino. So I don’t see that happening any time soon
If Eleven Labs has an automated voiced AI it would be awesome. You wouldn't recognize it as a machine, except when it is laughing. Laughing probably is the bane of voice technology hahaha.
I would imagine pre-recorded laughs could be put in that match the intensity of the piece.
Those artificial voices are laughing all the way to the bank!
Laughing isn't that hard, already exists now.
Guys, when I make a voice, it often speaks too quickly, any tips?
Their site says they're working on allowing users to make those adjustments.
Very impressive
Hi. Just wanted to say I really enjoyed playing with different AI voices. My favourite so far is Anthony.
It's amazing to see how far technology has come.
What voice was used? What were the voice setting numbers?
We need an API so we can use it with ChatGPT
why is the character limit only 29?? isnt that abit too low??
Prospective users of this should be cautious in reading the character limits. It's easy to misunderstand and think it means words limits. With character limits, every letter and number counts as a character, so "Come here" counts as 8 characters. They can be used up pretty fast.
Yes, this sounds pretty nice. The issue with AI voices still is: While sounding like a human, almost every sentence follows the same "melody", and intonation which gets pretty boring quickly. For the time being: Without AI really "understanding" copy, it will be very hard for it, to give the copy "subtext", ie. the emphasis that makes the difference between "OMG! You look horrible!" (Subtext: "Are you sick?") and "OMG! You look horrible!" (Subtext: "You dress tasteless").
In order to create a gripping read, you need to understand the copy, its references etc. For the time being, I do not see how AI voices can fulfill this. It gets even more challenging if you want AI to understand direction, for example:
"Yes, that was nice. Now add a little bit of red carpet. Sound celeb-style but still approachable."
It'll get there eventually!
Its learning but soon this emphasis will come from understanding the whole story. Where it came climaxes for good ending and for bad moments
That's where ChatGPT integration comes in. It will analyze the text and understand context, then parse that into tags/instructions that Elevenlabs will use to read correctly. It's already possible, they just have to create the interaction protocols.
@@danielrivera9147 Yes and no. So far, GPT does not really "understand" what you are talking about, it just spits out the copy that is most likely to follow a given prompt. And even if it does understand it. You will still need somebody, ie. a human being, that tells GPT what the changes should be. But if I need another human interaction, why not use a human in the first place that does it right in the first place …
@@chrispusnab And that true "understanding" will be extremely difficult to realize imho. Because real understanding means that you have to have the experience that teaches you the understanding. Difficult one for the time being, I think.
I could be wrong. The speed of development is gobsmacking, but for now, the technology labeled "intelligence" is not that far.
one of the best - who thinks Murf or Well Said Labs is better?
It's hard to beat Murf's "Author" voice option. All 3 AI companies are awesome.
Both sounds glitchy. The timbre on the voices and the inflections are good, but Eleven seems the beat them both by a mile.
1 year later, now you hear this voice everywhere 😂
You should do one with patrick bateman reading american psycho
Really impressive.
The next step will be introducing finer control over the delivery, such as specifying when the text is meant to be read in a sad or angry tone, rather than the only option being to allow the AI to run wild with it.
The Eleven Labs site says they're working on that. Some day AI will not only read fiction convincingly, it'll generate background sound effects and music to enhance it!
Yeah thats cool but now we can make fictional video game characters shitpost.

Whats the voice actor, I want to choose it?
Any conversation for now on can be faked.
Witam, dobrze było by gdyby tekst proponowany: 'First we thought the PC was a calculator. Then we found out how to turn numbers into letters and we thought it was a typewriter.' nie kosztował nic pod warunkiem że NIE jest edytowany
Absolutely the BEST right now.
Little heads up, since I've heard that voice before here in niche type of stories
Channel by the name of Interstellar Roadtripper does use it for reading.
This fucking ai stuff will put a lot of people out business.
They can go into different businesses. You can't, nor should you want to, stop tech advancement.
Can we get voice modulations in this ai..like characters emotional dialogues angry dialogues,laughing dialogues..etcc
As an audio engineer with 30 years in the business, I have to say that this pretty darned impressive. For tge last couple of years I've been awed by Google interpreting my voice since I am Scottish and we have some considerably different sounds but Google, amazingly gets 80% or more correct. Since my job as an audio editor, listening to the tiniest nuances, I can attest to this incredible phenomenon that is AI.
"Buccleuch" - was the only slightly off pronunciation made and it is a very Scottish name which we Scots pronounce as Bu-clue.
It's truly a mind boggling thang !
It sounds like the NOAA weather radio station.
So looking forward for French voices ! 🤯🤩
God damn it he’s good. 🤔
Please I am sorry forgive me for creating multiple accounts I don't know I shouldn't do that
Please activate my account free version
How do I set up my text file to generate breaks between chapters?
I'm hoping we can soon add text prompts within the text to adjust pacing, etc.
This looks very good to me and I will get the $22 package to start! If it can do 50% of what it looks like it can do, it will be well worth it! Amazing!
it's that even legal? i mean...you knew it
Is creating art legal? Why wouldn't it be?
Depends on what the audio is trained on. If it's trained via common crawl it should be legal for commercial purposes given the contract binding it, but obviously the Getty suit against SD is testing this. If it's "ethically" sourced then it's entirely legal
4:13 took me out of it
There is no contact link on your web site. I'm interested in using it for novella length pieces- 150,000 characters or so.
Check out their tiers. You would probably want the Creator tier. $22/month for 100,000 plus 0.30 per 1000 additional characters. Or Independent Publisher if you were planning multiple novellas per month
Waiting for more 😮
Im not sure why you removed variations like controversial and the other one. They were great and better then the premade ones we have now!
hot damn. this is some interesting tech
Impressive, but still there's something not quite human about how it sounds. It sounds deadpan. Devoid of emotion in places where it was needed. And this is not how real people talk. It's how a machine would talk when it is bound to punctuation. "Uncanny valley" material for sure. But for small publishers who can't afford professional voice actors, it almost sounds like the real thing!
a pitty only american. Need it for German

Ok so my subscription renewed and my quota didn’t get refilled. What gives???? I can’t find a single thing about it
Why do you not answer any of the comments? Have you seen how many people have asked you to share the voice character and settings you used! I guess this is why you only have 160 subscribers!...
This is a useless website, I created an account several times and each of them blocked me saying that you are using a VPN while I was not using any VPN.

I love this software. Can I become a brand ambassador -an affiliate? I have an ideal new website. People don´t read that much nowadays, but what if I (we 😄) read all the contents aloud to them. I´ve just signed up.
Was the imagery AI generated? If so can someone please tell me which AI did he use? Thank you in advance! 🙏
i just paid for this thinking there was going to be polish language or any eastern European Slavic accent or dialect and nothing, it said it was available and it isn't man smh
10k characters a month?? mannn im just wait till its free use
@GoTi4No yes
Is that Jim-Can't-Swim's voice? LOL!
this is great...
Stephen Fry please. Also Shohreh Aghdashloo in English.
Is there any other option for Hindi or Urdu language
I can't get a low male voice with hoarseness ... What can I do for this result ?
Their site says they're coming out with a voice designer this month for users who want to create their own voices. Maybe you'll be able to create something you like.
Everything is great but still it sounds a little odd not completely humanly
This is a good milestone
The diction is fluid and the prosody follows punctuation adequately. The voice timbre is realistic, as are the inflections. What's troubling is the overall tone - somewhat monotonous and too regularly-paced ; too insistent and lacking pathos.
Really good for English Language Learners though
I find some narrators can attempt to do this sort of monotone harsh speech, I imagine this is easier to synthesise but also what this is optimised for. It's amazing that the issues are so minor, it's great to live in the future
Why would you monetize your demos? Youre trying to sell your product not put ads on your ads
Very impressive stuff.
People who know this because dagoth ur

Eleven lab yeah you guys are the best AI to speech converter but why is it not freeam
Deeply impressive technology! NLP has let us do so much with AI it's wild.
how much for a custom voice, that only i have ownership of? can this do speech to speech i.e voice changer, either live or recorded?
I don't think it can do live.
can u make it free pls cuz I don’t rlly wanna pay
what about the speed ? it is possible to change speed ?
Imagine if ElevenLabs added a feature like Synthesia avatars. You could clone your voice and face and pump out content fast and easily.
You can clone your voice. That is one of the feature of a paid version. And there are others tools that allow for deep-fakes of your face with facial features.
You can already clone your voice and any voice you want.
Very sorry they can't speak Thai.
i really wanna know the name of this voice so i can use it
this summer wes andersen presents the great gasby
Wow!! Incredible.
How do you create a long pause?
