Introducing ElevenLabs Turbo V2: Lightning-Fast Text-to-Speech Now Available on WaveSpeedAI

The demand for high-quality, natural-sounding AI voices has never been higher. From content creators producing engaging videos to developers building conversational AI applications, the ability to transform text into lifelike speech is reshaping how we interact with digital content. Today, we’re excited to announce that ElevenLabs Turbo V2—one of the most advanced text-to-speech models available—is now accessible through WaveSpeedAI.

What is ElevenLabs Turbo V2?

ElevenLabs Turbo V2 is a state-of-the-art text-to-speech model engineered for speed without sacrificing quality. Developed by ElevenLabs, a leader in AI audio technology, Turbo V2 generates speech at approximately 400ms latency—over twice as fast as previous generation models while maintaining the same exceptional audio quality that ElevenLabs is known for.

The voices don’t simply read words; they understand context, add natural pauses, adjust pitch appropriately for questions, and convey subtle emotional nuances.
