Free alternatives to ElevenLabs
4 free programs that can replace ElevenLabs, each pairing checked by Radar's AI reviewer or by Radar.
ElevenLabs is an online AI service for generating speech from text, cloning voices and dubbing content into other languages. Video creators, podcasters, game and app developers, publishers and businesses use it for narration, audiobooks and voice assistants. It is available through paid plans and an API.
Before switching, check:
- Voice quality, naturalness and the languages you need. Listen to samples made from your own texts.
- Hardware: running voice models on your own computer may need a powerful graphics card.
- Voice cloning and consent: only clone voices with the speaker's permission, and read the license for commercial use of the generated audio.
- Integrations: if your apps call the ElevenLabs API, you will need to change that code.
- Your saved voices and past audio: download what you need before leaving.
