ElevenLabs

What it does.

ElevenLabs provides tools for generating and processing speech and other media. Its current pricing separates creative, agent and API offerings, while the creative suite includes text-to-speech, transcription and dubbing. The spending entry names the vendor, so it should not be presented as spending on one voice model or application.

Creators and product teams needing reviewable narration, speech transcription or authorized multilingual audio.

Generation and transcription tools share a provider ecosystem, useful when a workflow moves between written and spoken content.
