ElevenLabs

ElevenLabs makes AI voice tools. Its main product turns text into natural sounding speech in many languages and voices. Piotr Dabkowski and Mati Staniszewski founded the company in 2022. Both grew up in Poland.

Users can pick from a large voice library or clone a voice from a short recording. Other tools translate and dub videos while keeping the speaker's voice, turn speech into text, create sound effects and make music. The Agents platform lets businesses build voice assistants for phone lines and apps. The ElevenReader app reads articles and books aloud. Its voices are used for audiobooks, podcasts, video narration and games, in many languages and accents.

There is a free plan with a small monthly character allowance. Paid plans raise that allowance and add commercial rights and voice cloning. Developers use the ElevenLabs API to add voices to their own products. Publishers, video creators, game studios and customer service teams are among its users.
