ElevenLabs eleven-v3 is a text-to-speech model available as a hosted endpoint; requests cost $0.1 per 1000 characters. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

Eleven V3 converts written text into natural, expressive speech using ElevenLabs’ advanced deep-learning speech synthesis technology. It delivers clear pronunciation, smooth pacing, and lifelike emotion β€” ideal for voiceovers, narrations, podcasts, and digital content.


🎧 Key Features

  • High Naturalness β€” produces human-like intonation, timing, and articulation.
  • Multi-Language Support β€” generate voices in multiple global languages with automatic accent adaptation.
  • Customizable Parameters β€” control tone and realism via similarity and stability settings.
  • Speaker Boost β€” enhances clarity for English numerals, times, and measurements.
  • Wide Voice Library β€” choose from a rich set of built-in voices (see voice list here).

πŸ’° Pricing

  • Just $0.1 per 1,000 characters !!!

Billing Rules

  • If the input length is less than 1000 characters, it will be counted as 1000 characters to pay.

πŸš€ How to Use

  1. Enter your text in the text field (up to 5,000 characters).
  2. Select a voice from the voice_id dropdown (e.g., Alice, Elli, George).
  3. Adjust optional parameters:
  • similarity: 0–1 (higher = closer to base voice tone)
  • stability: 0–1 (higher = consistent delivery)
  • use_speaker_boost: enhances number reading in English.
  1. Click Run to generate and preview your audio.

πŸ“ Notes

  • Audio output is returned in MP3 format.
  • Works best for English, but supports multiple languages.
  • Long texts may require splitting for stable generation.
  • Ensure text avoids ambiguous punctuation for optimal rhythm and tone.
  • If the model returns an error message like incorrect voice ID, please modify the code according to the table mentioned earlier voice list here.

Parameters

Task Submission Parameters

Request Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultRangeDescription
textstringYes--Text to convert to speech. Every character is 1 token. Maximum 10000 characters. Use <#x#> between words to control pause duration (0.01-99.99s).
voice_idstringYesAliceAria, Roger, Sarah, Laura, Charlie, George, Callum, River, Liam, Charlotte, Alice, Matilda, Will, Jessica, Eric, Chris, Brian, Daniel, Lily, BillThe voice to use for speech generation
similaritynumberNo10 ~ 1High enhancement boosts overall voice clarity and target speaker similarity. Very high values can cause artifacts, so adjusting this setting to find the optimal value is encouraged.
stabilitynumberNo0.50 ~ 1Voice stability (0-1) Default value: 0.5
use_speaker_boostbooleanNotrue-This parameter supports English text normalization, which improves performance in number-reading scenarios.
