We’ve spent a lot of time getting the details of @ElevenReader right.
Last week, we launched an all-new ElevenReader, powered by @ElevenLabs v4.
A few things we shipped:
The right voice can elevate any story.
We put Eleven v4 to the test against other reading apps. Hear the difference for yourself.

damn @elevenreader is crazy, excellent vocal performance of this random webnovel epub i uploaded. not quite flawless but genuinely putting a lot of appropriate emotion and inflection into dialogue, even a character interrupting herself with a laugh
We built this release closely with hundreds of beta users.
Grateful for their feedback, and for the team’s persistence in making ElevenReader better with every detail, especially @marcin_jelenski
when eleven v4 decides it’s actually fluent in Spanish mid-sentence in @elevenreader

A couple of things that make Eleven v4 special:
- Extremely low latency (100 ms p50 TTFB for Turbo)
- By far the best voice similarity
- Outstanding quality (#1 on Artificial Analysis and on our own benchmarks)
It achieves all of this while being extremely reliable. Eleven v4 uses our new post-training stack and a surprising recent research discovery that we hope will greatly accelerate our future model development.
By the end of the year, we expect delivery of new compute that will increase our training capacity almost 10x. Very excited for what's ahead!
Congratulations to the team!
Introducing Eleven v4 and Eleven v4 Turbo, our fastest and most emotive voice models yet.
Ranked #1 by Artificial Analysis.
Eleven v4 raises the expressiveness bar, yet again

the goal of IPO'ing @ eleven is cool but nothing made want to start a company more than seeing somebody else (mati ofc) have an idea with his best mate -- then after four years of being a machine, book an insane hotel for 1 week and have 1000 inspiring people all in the same place jamming on your mission.
i felt late at 100th, but it is surprising how much there is to do and how early we still are. if you're debating whether to join a startup you feel late to, in 18months we went from 100-850, 100th is now p12 = ~"early".
if you're 18-22 right now, get on a rocket ship with pmf (series B-C ish), enjoy the next few years of agi and then make a rocket ship
This week, we brought all of @ElevenLabs together. 800 of us, from 50 countries!
Remote-first has been a superpower for us, but there’s nothing like having everyone in one place and feeling the energy across the team. Now onwards - so much more to build!

"It's a fantastic product. It turns every document into essentially a podcast I can listen to when my eyes are busy."

So epic.
Like everyone else though, I do need someone to explain the logic of stacking matches on Ashe so players wait around for hours to compete at the highest level at 3:30am ET in front of a half-empty arena and a fraction of a TV audience.
