Software reviews from verified professionals on Capterra's software directory.
We use ElevenLabs to power AI voice assistants and voice-over short videos for social. Scripts in, high-quality audio out, minimal cleanup required. Voice generation is the most humanlike we've tested. It has condensed the workflows of planning, recording, and post-production into a single step.
Having spent significant time using ElevenLabs throughout 2025, I've seen it evolve from a simple TTS tool into a comprehensive audio workstation. It remains the industry leader for emotional realism. One pain point: unused credits don't always roll over depending on your plan.
I had a wonderful experience with ElevenLabs. The voices are incredibly realistic and the clone voice feature really makes the process faster and easier. It's easy to use, supports multiple languages, and is very polished overall.
The video generation from existing photos and the voiceover library is amazing. I am genuinely amazed by the quality and the pricing is very reasonable. I haven't found any cons yet. The voices sound like actual people talking.
ElevenLabs is one of the most realistic voice options available. However, the credit system is too expensive in terms of words allowed for each plan. I have seen other software where significantly more credits are given for the same price.
I would highly recommend ElevenLabs for Text-to-Speech generation and challenge anybody not to find the Eleven v3 engine to be exceptional for this purpose. The music tool occasionally misses nuances but the TTS is outstanding.
Overall a wonderful experience with ElevenLabs. The voices are incredibly realistic and the clone voice feature makes the process faster and easier. Easy to use, reasonable support for multiple languages, and very polished.
The TTS is the most expressive I've found. I'd love a wider range of accents within some languages. Hebrew would be valuable for my use cases specifically. The music tool occasionally misses prompt nuances as well.
The voices are so realistic — it sounds like an actual person talking. Voice cloning is my favorite feature because it is not only fun but very helpful. It supports many other languages and all of them sound great and realistic.
One of the biggest pain points is that unused credits don't always roll over depending on your plan. If you have a slow month, you effectively lose the value you paid for. This feels like a deliberate design choice to extract more revenue.
Industry-leading voices with room to grow in accents, languages, and creative controls for the music feature. For voice AI it's a 4-star product. The music creation works well for simple cues though prompt sensitivity could improve.
The platform is used by content teams creating narration and localized media, marketing teams producing explainer videos, and education teams building e-learning materials. For our content team it has transformed how we approach every audio project.
The dubbing tool translates audio into 29+ languages while preserving the original speaker's voice. Combined with 70+ language support for TTS this platform enables you to reach a genuinely global audience from a single production workflow.
ElevenLabs provides SOC 2-compliant APIs, SDKs, and on-prem deployments to build secure, scalable, and multilingual solutions. For enterprise procurement, having these credentials makes the adoption conversation significantly easier with our security team.
With ElevenLabs Voice Design, you can create unique expressive AI voices from scratch — no samples, no recordings, just intelligent customization. This is perfect for branding or character creation in games and animations where you need something truly original.
Automating your video voiceovers, ad reads, and podcasts effortlessly with ElevenLabs Voice Cloning is genuinely possible. With a few minutes of audio, you can clone your voice to create speech that sounds authentically like you.
For advanced use, install the SDK, get your API key from settings, and code simple scripts to automate voiceovers. The Python SDK worked exactly as documented on my first attempt. The whole integration was smoother than any other AI API I've worked with.
The addition of AI Sound Effects and AI Music generation has made ElevenLabs a more complete audio platform. Being able to add SFX, music beds, and voiceover all from the same tool significantly simplifies the production workflow.
The audio sounds very realistic and uses different tones of voice to make it sound real. One suggestion: it doesn't know how to pronounce certain uncommon names. If it had a feature where you could record the correct pronunciation it would be perfect.
ElevenLabs extends its capabilities to mobile users with dedicated apps and a studio-grade voiceover suite. Content creators can edit, mix, and export voiceovers directly from the cloud or on the go. The mobile app is genuinely capable.
For users who cannot read visually, ElevenLabs provides something truly valuable. The voice quality is high and lifelike. However, the subscription pricing is painful for users who depend on this technology for accessibility rather than just content creation.
From dynamic video advertisements and product demos to corporate training modules, businesses can leverage ElevenLabs to create a professional and consistent vocal brand. Our corporate training module production cost dropped by approximately 70% after switching.
The workflow is extremely smooth: create an account, paste your script, select your voice, adjust settings with intuitive sliders, then generate and download the audio in MP3 or WAV. For non-technical users this is impressively approachable.
The stability slider controls how consistent the voice is. Turn it up for a steadier delivery for long articles. Lower it for more expression but sometimes the voice gets a little wobbly. This granular control is genuinely impressive but takes experimentation to master.
For developers, creators, and businesses seeking best-in-class AI voices and flexible APIs, ElevenLabs is a standout choice. Its realism, customization, and developer tools lead the market. If your project relies on natural, scalable audio, ElevenLabs is worth it.
ElevenLabs APIs are GDPR and SOC 2 compliant, making them suitable for enterprise integration in customer support, call centers, and education technology. Having these certifications in place made our procurement process significantly faster and easier to justify to our legal and security teams.
ElevenLabs makes it easy to turn scripts into engaging podcast segments. You can generate voiceovers for intros, ads, and entire episodes, then clean up any field recordings with Voice Isolator. The combination of TTS generation and audio cleanup in one platform saves significant time per episode.
I tested sentences like 'I have 200,000 apples' and the quality drops dramatically. I got 'I have 20 thousand thousand' instead of 'I have 2 hundred thousand.' For financial content this is a serious problem. You have to spell out numbers phonetically which adds significant manual editing time to every project.
