Instead of generating sentences one-by-one, it stays mindful of how each fragment ties to the surrounding context,” reads ElevenLabs’ beta webpage . “This zoomed-out perspective allows it to intonate longer fragments convincingly – and it works with any voice.” On top of its “proprietary deep learning model,” Eleven Labs has built a speech synthesis tool, with which users can convert writing to professional-sounding audio. Eleven Multilingual currently supports English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, German, Polish, and Portuguese, and the website states, somewhat mysteriously, that “new languages are to be added sequentially.” ElevenLabs describes its other product, VoiceLab, as an “AI creative toolkit.” It includes a generative AI model to create synthetic speech as well as a voice cloning model that can learn “any speech profile from just a minute of audio.” Later in 2023, ElevenLabs will introduce Publishers Projects, a workstation where users can create and edit long-form spoken content, from dialogue segments to full audiobooks. Of course, ElevenLabs is far from the only company looking to capitalize on AI-powered voice tech. Competitors include Meta, whose AI branch introduced Voicebox , a new generative AI model for speech, on June 16, 2023. Tags
