ElevenLabs is an AI voice platform (with a free tier) offering cutting-edge AI speech synthesis technology to easily create realistic, expressive AI voices. It supports multiple languages, voice cloning, and real-time speech generation. They claim to be the best in the field of AI voice. Whether that's true or not, it has a free quota, so you can try it out.

Sign Up and Log In

First, open your browser and go to the ElevenLabs website.

https://elevenlabs.io/

On the homepage, click the LOG IN or GO TO APP button in the upper right corner to go to the registration page.

If you already have an account or a Google/GitHub account, you can click the login button above. If not, click Sign up below to register.

Get API Key

After registering and logging in, open this address to create an API KEY: https://elevenlabs.io/app/settings/api-keys

Then the automatically created SK will be displayed. Please copy and save it. It will only be displayed at this time and will not be displayed later.

Use in Translation Software

Open the video translation software, Menu--TTS Settings--Elevenlabs.io--fill in the apikey copied in the previous step, and then click Test. If it says OK, save it.

After saving, return to the main interface of the software and select Elevenlabs.io in the dubbing channel, and select the role you want to use in the role.

Note that the free account has frequency limits. To avoid errors caused by exceeding the frequency, please modify the number of concurrent connections and the pause time after each dubbing, as shown in the figure below.

Select the Tone You Want to Use

ElevenLabs has thousands of tones. By default, about a dozen are free to use. You can also create your own tones.

https://elevenlabs.io/app/voice-lab

On this page, you can select the tone you want to use, and then click +Add to add it to your tone list. Note that free accounts can only add up to 3. After adding, update the roles in the TTS settings of the video translation software.

Create a New Custom Role

If you don't have the role you want, you can also customize a new role.

As shown in the figure above, a custom box will pop up after clicking. Fill in the tone requirements in the box above and the reading text below.

Clone Dubbing

Select clone in the dubbing role, which means using the original video's tone for dubbing. However, this function requires a paid membership of elevenlabs.io to be available; otherwise, do not use it, as it will definitely cause errors.

If you want to use it, you can upgrade your account here: https://elevenlabs.io/app/subscription

You can also try this feature on their website (uploading a video). This is free, but the generated result will have a watermark.

Update the Role List in the Video Translation Software

After adding or deleting roles in elevenlabs.io, you need to update the role list in the video translation.

1. Open Menu--TTS Settings--Elevenlabs.io, click Test and Update Roles, wait and save if there are no errors.
2. In the main interface of the software, if the current dubbing channel is not Elevenlabs.io, directly switch to Elevenlabs.io. If it already is, switch to another channel first, and then switch back.
