Here is a video about ElevenLabs' product updates produced in August 2025.
Here is a video about ElevenLabs' product updates produced by AICU in August 2025.
This video explains in detail ElevenLabs, which is attracting attention as an AI audio platform, from its overview to the latest technology. While touching on support from well-known VCs and adoption records at companies such as Google and Zoom, we will introduce what kind of company it is, and in the video, we will delve into the various core technologies provided by ElevenLabs.
Main technologies: "Text-to-Speech (TTS)" that generates speech from text, "Speech-to-Speech (STS)" that converts speech to another voice while maintaining the original voice quality, "Voice Cloning" that duplicates a specific voice, "Sound Effects (SFX)" that generates sound effects from text prompts, and so on.
Product applications: "Studio" function for audiobooks and podcast production, AI dubbing function that supports 29 languages and maintains emotions and tones, and other specific usage examples are also introduced.
Latest model: The "Scribe" model, which realizes highly accurate transcription, will be explained in comparison with Whisper.
Voice Cloning: The differences between "Instant Voice Cloning," which can be created immediately with 30 seconds of audio, and "Professional Voice Cloning," which involves voiceprint authentication, and its safety are also explained.
Safety and Ethics: Measures against deepfakes and participation in Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) to ensure safe use are also introduced.
Of particular note is the demonstration of the latest speech synthesis model "V3," which is demonstrated in the second half of the video.
Pay attention to how V3 enables natural news reading compared to conventional TTS voice. Furthermore, please listen to the amazing evolution of rich "emotional expression" (lines like a dragon in a cave), intonation in dialects (Hakata dialect), and "non-verbal expressions" such as laughter.
"Voice" will become the next creative foundation
Movies, animation, VTubers, games, advertising── Amidst the advancement of AI-based generation, the last remaining area of "humanity" is voice.
- Voice that puts "soul" into video
- Narration that guides the story
- Conversation that gives life to characters
- AI agent that transforms the customer experience
ElevenLabs is becoming a "voice OS" that integrates all of these. Please don't miss this opportunity.
Sessions with interpreters are also planned, so you can participate with peace of mind in both Japanese and English!
The Chroma Awards, sponsored by ElevenLabs, are also approaching the deadline!
