What is ElevenLabs?
ElevenLabs is a neural text-to-speech platform known for unusually natural intonation and emotional range. Its line splits by job: Flash v2.5 is the real-time model used for voice agents, at roughly 75ms latency across 32 languages, while Eleven v3 is the more expressive model covering 70+ languages but with latency too high for a live phone conversation. Voice cloning splits the same way — instant cloning from a sub-minute sample, or professional cloning fine-tuned on hours of audio.
