Introducing ElevenLabs Reader: AI Audio, a new iOS app by AI Startup ElevenLabs that can narrate any text file, written content, or webpage in various AI-generated voices. This innovative app brings text to life with natural and expressive speech, making it ideal for articles, ePubs, PDFs, or any text you want to listen to on the go.
ElevenLabs is dedicated to researching and creating cutting-edge AI audio technology, focusing on making content universally accessible in any language and voice. Their mission is to develop the most realistic, versatile, and contextually-aware AI audio models for users worldwide.
While Apple Books already offers an AI-based narration feature for eBooks, ElevenLabs Reader takes it a step further by extending this functionality beyond just digital books. With this app, iPhone and iPad users can now enjoy listening to any article, book, webpage, or document wherever they are.
Key features of ElevenLabs Reader include:
– 11 different voices and accents for narration
– Control over narration speed
– Ability to convert text files into audio seamlessly
Upon downloading the app and signing up (or logging in with your existing ElevenLabs account), users will find a range of samples they can listen to. You can easily add content by writing your own text, importing a web URL, or uploading a text file for the app to process and narrate.
Although ElevenLabs Reader currently only supports narration in English at launch, there are plans to add over 29 languages supported by ElevenLabs’ website to the mobile app in the future.
Overall, ElevenLabs Reader offers a smooth and enjoyable experience for converting text into audio. While it may encounter some challenges with unusual formatting at times due to being a new app, continuous improvements are expected in upcoming updates.
