What Eleven v4 Turbo can do

It is the same new-generation ElevenLabs text to speech as v4, in a fast version. The voices, the delivery settings and the tags are the same, and it is the lowest-cost version in the family. That makes Turbo handy when you need a lot of takes: a long text in parts, ten versions of an ad line, a scratch read before the final voiceover.

  • Faster and cheaper. The lowest-cost ElevenLabs version in this section.
  • The same voices. Fifteen library voices, male and female, all native English.
  • Audio tags. [whispers], [laughs], [sighs] and the rest work here too.
  • Pronunciation. Write a tricky word phonetically between slashes.

For the final voiceover with the richest delivery, try Eleven v4.
