About ElevenLabs

ElevenLabs is one of the most advanced AI voice platforms available, enabling creators, developers, and enterprises to generate hyper-realistic speech from text in over 32 languages. Founded in 2022 by former Google and Palantir engineers, the platform rapidly became the go-to choice for podcasters, audiobook publishers, game developers, and enterprise voice applications. The platform's core technology uses deep learning models trained on vast speech datasets to produce nuanced, emotionally expressive voice output that rivals human narration. Users can clone existing voices, create entirely new synthetic voices, or choose from a library of hundreds of pre-built options. The API is developer-friendly, with SDKs for Python, JavaScript, and other languages. For enterprise customers, ElevenLabs provides regional data residency in the US, EU, and India, along with a Zero Retention Mode that ensures no content or data is stored on their servers. SOC 2 Type II certification and GDPR compliance make it suitable for regulated industries. Enterprise plans also include dedicated infrastructure, priority support, and custom voice agreements. ElevenLabs has expanded rapidly beyond text-to-speech into a full AI audio platform, offering dubbing for video content, voice isolation, sound effects generation, and a conversational AI voice agent SDK. The company raised over $180 million in funding at a $3.3 billion valuation as of 2024, and continues to push the frontier of what AI-generated audio can achieve.
