ElevenLabs just teamed up with ScienceCast and arXiv to transform complex research papers into 3-to-5-minute narrated video pitches. ScienceCast’s automated video tool now uses ElevenLabs' AI voices to summarize arXiv uploads, giving researchers an easier, more accessible way to stay ahead of the daily paper flood.
Take-Two just issued a DMCA takedown against Sentient Streets, a GTA 5 mod powered by Inworld AI and ElevenLabs that let players talk freely with NPCs. The creator says the project and its YouTube showcase were pulled out of nowhere with zero prior contact. It is a clear reminder that big gaming publishers are still drawing a hard legal line around generative AI.
ElevenLabs just partnered with Inworld to bring its advanced voice synthesis directly into Inworld's AI NPC platform. Game developers can now generate lifelike voices that dynamically adapt to player interactions in real time. It is a big upgrade for immersion, making in-game characters sound far less robotic.
D-ID and ElevenLabs just teamed up to integrate natural-sounding synthetic speech into D-ID's Creative Reality studio. Pro subscribers can now combine avatars and facial expressions with nine premium voices in a single click, making AI video narrators sound far less robotic.
ElevenLabs just introduced its Voice Library, giving creators a central place to discover, share, and deploy synthetic voices. Users can browse thousands of community and proprietary voice profiles or clone their own for audiobooks, podcasts, and video dubbing. Why it matters: It turns synthetic voice generation into an open marketplace of vocal talent.
ElevenLabs just rolled out the AI Speech Classifier, a web tool that lets anyone check if an audio clip was generated with its voice tech. Users can upload an audio or video file without logging in, and it checks the first minute to return a probability score plus closest voice matches. The catch: it doesn't reliably identify audio made with its Eleven v3 model yet.
ElevenLabs just dropped Eleven Multilingual v1, bringing its expressive text-to-speech tech to seven new languages, including French, German, Hindi, and Spanish. The model preserves a speaker's unique tone and accent across languages, working seamlessly with existing voice-cloning tools. Why it matters: Localizing games, audiobooks, and media just got much easier, though non-English numbers and acronyms still occasionally trip it up.
ElevenLabs just announced it is tightening safety controls after 4chan trolls weaponized its beta tool to generate fake audio of celebrities like Emma Watson spewing hate speech. While the startup says it can trace generated clips back to accounts, it is now weighing payment verification, ID checks, or manual approvals to stop the abuse.
ElevenLabs just introduced a new generative voice model that creates completely synthetic voices from scratch. Instead of relying solely on voice cloning, users can tweak parameters like age, gender, accent, and style to generate unique voices. The feature rolls out to Voice Lab this February.
