I used this last week and it's excellent - feels like the same increase in productivity increase from when I first used Cursor.

Are you thinking of doing a hosted version so I can have my team collab on it?

And I found I could open lots of PRs at once but they often need to be dependent on each other - and then I want to make a change to the first one. How are you thinking of better managing that flow?


Yeah I think giving the option to move execution to the cloud makes a lot of sense, I already find my macbook slowing down after 4 concurrent runs, mainly rustc.

Also now we're pushing many more PRs think we defo need better ways to stack and review work. Will look into this asap


Very productive increase sirs! Whole team well promoted.


Can you choose a voice that's native in that language in the voice library: https://elevenlabs.io/app/voice-library?language=es


Can you try with this voice? https://elevenlabs.io/app/voice-library?voiceId=xTZlmU8dKXdy...

Voice selection matters more for this model


Which language isn't good and I'll get that fixed asap?


You need native or at least fluent speakers to help you, to get the expressions right. For example Swedish is written like a word-for-word translation from English.


There's lots of great german voices here which should be better: https://elevenlabs.io/app/voice-library/collections/SHEPnUB9...

The voice selection matters a lot for this research preview


If you edit the text so that laugh makes sense in the context it should be much more natural like this one: https://x.com/elevenlabsio/status/1930689782331412811


The first laugh in that "<LAUGHS> Hey, Dr. Von Fusion" is a dedicated laugh section, which the model does extremely well, but it works because that's a natural place to laugh before actually speaking the following words. Skip ahead to "...robot chuckle. Jessica: <LAUGHS> I know right!" and you get an awkwardly time/toned light chuckle completely separated from the "I know" you'd naturally continue saying while making that chuckle.

You can always rewrite the text to avoid times where one would naturally laugh through the next couple of following words but that's just attempting to avoid the problem and do a different kind of laugh instead.


She is laughing through the "I know", though.


have to say that this human can't tell the difference between this and other real humans so...


can you try with a Romanian voice?


I'm not sure what you mean. I chose Romanian from the language selector and tried Matilda, Alice and Laura. Laura actually sounds like an English TTS trying to pronounce Romanian.


Exactly the same thing with Bulgarian voices.


It should work well for the logged in voices here: https://elevenlabs.io/app/voice-library?language=ro

We are in the process of updated the homepage voices for the new languages


It does, indeed. Thanks for looking into it.


If you're trying to make an audiobook about an Alabaman visiting Paris this might be quite useful... But in seriousness try it with this voice: https://elevenlabs.io/app/voice-library?voiceId=rbFGGoDXFHtV...


I'll give it a check. I was playing the sample on the v3 page.


> The result with OpenAI feels much less predictable and of lower production quality than ElevenLabs

Thank you Ian! Credit to our research team for making this possible

For the prosidy, if you choose an expressive voice the prosidy should be larger


The word is “prosody”, right?


Ninjaing in to ask: is v3 on the roadmap for your voice agents? The quality increase is huge.


Yep, low latency models are on the way.


We have lots of great British voices in our voice library! Or if you want to hear an american trying to do a british accent add "[British accent]" at the start of the generation


It would be good if your demos made it more obvious. There's a vast arrays of AI developments wanting me to check them out - you have seconds to get my attention.


I kept an English prompt, selected a French voice, and was delighted to hear an British English woman. :shrug:


If you'd like it to sound like a french person speaking french this voice works great: https://elevenlabs.io/app/voice-library?voiceId=xTZlmU8dKXdy...

Or if you want a french person speaking english with a french accent use that voice with "[French accent]" before it
