Today, we’re excited to announce the availability of ElevenLabs Turbo V2 on WaveSpeedAI, bringing you one of the most acclaimed text-to-speech models at an affordable price point.
What is ElevenLabs Turbo V2?
ElevenLabs Turbo V2 is a high-performance text-to-speech model optimized for speed without compromising on quality. Developed by ElevenLabs—one of the leading companies in AI voice technology—Turbo V2 generates natural-sounding speech with approximately 400ms latency, making it over twice as fast as previous generation models.

The AI voice generation market is experiencing explosive growth, projected to reach $20.4 billion by 2030 with neural AI voices leading adoption at 67.9% market share. ElevenLabs has positioned itself at the forefront of this transformation, recently securing $180 million in Series C funding at a $3.3 billion valuation.
