Offering tools like text-to-speech, voice cloning, dubbing, and speech-to-speech conversion, the platform supports expressive, lifelike audio in over 30 languages, including adjustable emotion, intonation, and cadence. ElevenLabs’ technology is deployed across publishing, gaming, entertainment, accessibility, and conversational AI use cases, powering integration with publishers such as The New Yorker and The Washington Post, as well as gaming studios and content creators.

The company has secured $281 million in funding, including a $19M Series A in 2023, an $80M Series B in 2024, and a $180M Series C in early 2025—bringing its valuation to approximately $3.3 billion. Its roadmap emphasizes expanding research—especially in expressive voice control and conversational agents—as well as continued product launches like ElevenReader, AI dubbing, and real-time conversational voice agents. Alongside innovation, ElevenLabs places a strong emphasis on safety features, including voice usage tracking and an AI Speech Classifier tool to detect synthetic audio, amid concerns over potential misuse in deepfake scams.
