Eleven Labs Raises $2 Million in Seed Funding Round

Voice technology startup Eleven Labs has completed a $2 million seed funding round, which it plans to use to advance its text-to-speech, speech-to-speech, and voice cloning technology in any language, any voice, with the full range of emotions. It could be used for everything from creating audiobooks to dubbing movies.

Eleven Labs' technology currently works in English and Polish and supports both short- and long-form narratives.

In the short term, the startup hopes to get its solution working for more languages. In the longer term, it hopes to be able to convert spoken audio between languages for dubbing movies, TV programming, and real-time communications. It also wants to scale up its solution globally and expand its workforce.
