ElevenLabs has officially launched the alpha version of its latest text-to-speech model, Eleven v3, and it’s being hailed as the company’s most expressive and human-like release yet. Designed for storytellers, filmmakers, game developers, audiobook producers, and accessibility innovators, Eleven v3 introduces a new era of emotionally intelligent AI voices.
\r\n\r\nThe standout capability? Real-time emotional cues — including whispers, laughter, and excitement — giving creators nuanced control over voice tone, pace, and delivery. For the first time, AI voices can reflect the emotional rhythm of natural human speech, enriching narratives with genuine feeling.
\r\n\r\nOne of the model’s most groundbreaking features is its new Text to Dialogue API. This allows for multi-speaker interaction, overlapping speech, and even natural interruptions — creating realistic conversations between AI voices with stunning fluidity.
\r\n\r\nWhile Eleven v3 isn’t fully optimized for real-time applications due to current latency, it already delivers industry-leading audio quality and realism for pre-recorded content. According to CEO Mati Staniszewski, this is more than a product release — it’s the beginning of a new paradigm in voice AI.
\r\n\r\nElevenLabs is offering an 80% discount on UI-based usage through June, with public API access set to roll out soon.
