AI text-to-speech platform producing natural-sounding voice audio with voice cloning, multilingual support, and emotional expression control. Best for workflows needing high-quality voice synthesis — narration, accessibility features, and voice-enabled applications. The leading TTS provider for naturalness — unlike Soniox (speech-to-text), ElevenLabs converts text to speech with human-like intonation.
7 endpoints available through Lava’s AI Gateway. See the ElevenLabs API docs for full documentation.
Supports both managed (Lava’s API keys) and unmanaged (bring your own credentials) mode.
