Write your script, assign different voices to each speaker, insert emotion tags like [excited] or [whispers], and generate broadcast-quality audio in minutes.

What is AI Text to Speech?
AI text to speech converts written text into natural-sounding human speech using neural network synthesis. ElevenLabs' engine understands context, punctuation, and emotional cues within your text — producing voice output that matches the meaning and tone of your words, not just their phonetic sequence. The model handles numbers, abbreviations, special characters, and code-switching between languages automatically.
AI Model integrates ElevenLabs' Text-to-Dialogue model, purpose-built for multi-speaker conversations. Instead of generating flat, single-voice narration, this AI text to speech engine manages natural speaker transitions, emotional variation, and conversational rhythm across unlimited speakers. Combined with the Audio Tags system, you get fine-grained control over how every line is delivered — from whispered asides to shouted exclamations.
AI Text to Speech Key Features

Assign different voices to each speaker in your script. ElevenLabs manages natural speaker transitions, turn-taking, and conversational flow automatically. Create podcasts, audiobook chapters, and dialogue scenes with distinct AI voices — no splicing or manual audio editing.
Audio Tags for Emotion & Effects
Insert tags like [excited], [whispers], [sigh], [laughs], or [British accent] directly into your text. ElevenLabs' AI voice engine interprets these tags and adjusts tone, delivery, and vocal characteristics in real time. Control emotion, pacing, accents, and sound effects at the word level.

Audio Tags Reference
Control emotion, delivery, and sound effects with inline tags — exclusive to ElevenLabs AI voice generation.
Audio Tags are bracketed instructions placed directly in your text. ElevenLabs' AI text to speech engine reads these tags and modifies the voice output accordingly — changing emotion, pacing, accent, or adding non-verbal sounds. Tags work across all voices and languages.

Example: "[excited] We just launched the new feature!"
Delivery
[pause] [rushed] [stammers] [drawn out] [hesitates] [flatly] [deadpan]
Example: "[hesitates] I'm not sure that's... [pause] correct."
Non-Verbal
[sigh] [laughs] [gulps] [gasps] [whispers] [clears throat] [coughs]
Example: "[sigh] Fine, let's try it one more time."
Sound Effects
[gunshot] [clapping] [explosion] [laughs softly] [door slam]
Example: "[clapping] Great presentation, everyone."
Accent & Character
[British accent] [Australian accent] [Southern US accent] [pirate voice] [fantasy narrator]
Example: "[British accent] Shall we proceed to the next item?"
Pacing & Volume
[WHISPER] [SHOUTING] [slowly] [quickly] [emphasize]

Best Practices for AI Text to Speech
Text & Script Tips
- Write in natural sentence structure — the AI voice sounds best with conversational text
- Use punctuation to control pacing: commas for short pauses, periods for full stops, ellipses for trailing off
- Break long paragraphs into shorter dialogue lines for more natural rhythm
- Preview different voices before committing — each voice has unique strengths for different content types
Audio Tags Tips
- Place emotion tags at the start of a sentence to set the tone: [excited] This is amazing!
- Combine delivery and emotion tags for nuanced control: [whispers] [nervously] I think someone is watching
- Use [pause] between sentences for dramatic effect or natural breathing rhythm
- Sound effect tags like [laughs] or [sigh] work best at natural conversation break points
