Free Text To Speech Online with Lifelike AI Voices | ElevenLabs Transform text into lifelike speech with ElevenLabs' Text to Speech. Ultra-realistic text-to-speech supports 30+ languages and TTS API integrations.

You can use ElevenLabs AI voice for yourself here. No Elf magic needed. elevenlabs.io/text-to-speech

I've been at @elevenlabs.io nearly two months now. I still keep typing ElvenLabs instead of ElevenLabs. So I made this.

A year ago character animation like this, even just simple lip synching wasn't really possible in any realistic way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-oa...

Voice speed controls are now available in ElevenLabs TTS, Studio, Conversational AI, and our API.

Pacing completely changes the delivery of spoken word.

You can now control pace down to the word level, giving you more control over the expressiveness of your dialogue.

What is reality?

To see how easy it is to work with I created a simple transcriber app using Scribe. Only works with mp3, you need an API key and max duration 3 mins.

Introducing Scribe — the most accurate Speech to Text model.

It has the highest accuracy on benchmarks, making it the leading model for English, Spanish, Italian, and many more. With support for 99 languages, speaker diarization, character-level timestamps, and non-speech events such as laughing.

I deleted Grammarly from Chrome. It is very useful as a writing aid but its constant interruptions to my workflow make it needier than Duolingo and more annoying than Clippy. The trade-off between benefit and annoyance is no longer worth it.

Career change news!

On my way into the office for my first day with ElevenLabs to help tell the AI voice lab’s story.

Every time I see the words 'government' and 'action plan' attached to anything my instinct says 'nothing is going to happen'.

When a government launches an action plan it tends to be a way of saying "we don't know what to do about this".

Or maybe I'm just cynical.

I put Grok vs MetaAI in a 7-round face-off — here's the winner The social side of AI chatbots

In my latest verses, I put Grok up against MetaAI in a 7-round face-off. I used the same categories I've used in previous tests. It wasn't a test of Llama, but rather of the Meta dot AI service versus Grok in X.

Grok won in every category. www.tomsguide.com/ai/i-put-gro...

Dust Born: The Rise of the Gifted Generation Dust Born: The Rise of the Gifted Generation eBook : Morrison, Ryan: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store

A bit of a departure from AI. My debut (albeit self published) novel is now out on Amazon. amzn.to/40nxoX2

Called Dust Born, it is a super powered sci-fi story about a space dust cloud that forever changed humanity.

Wish I had more than just my iPhone with me last night. Venus and the moon were spectacular

I think the difference between Elon Musk and other billionaires is that he’s blatant and public about his manipulation attempts.

I am trying to get my brain to fire the writing synapse. I don't mean a quick post on Bluesky, but the one that lets me string multiple sentences together for a story.

My usual tricks aren't working.

YouTube video by Adventures in AI Land AI Comedian — Brits in Space

I built an AI stand-up comedian. You give it a prompt and it generates a standup routine, voices using ElevenLabs Flash v2. Takes under a minute.

I gave it a face with Hedra although that isn't part of the app — yet. Details, GitHub: ryanmorrison.uk/creating-an-... youtu.be/Ar1NKg5a2-E

That wonderful time between Christmas and New Year

Work continues on my AI comedian app. I'll have a downloadable version and Github repo in the next day or two (as I've got some time off work).

Here is one of the routines. Voice is ElevenLabs and lip-sync is Hedra with an Ideogram image. youtu.be/OlQhjHTZicc

YouTube video by Adventures in AI Land Dial-a-Comedian (simple coding project)

Here is v1 of Dial-a-Comedian. Your own personal standup powered by ElevenLabs new Flash v2 and Groq running Meta Llama 3.3 70b.

Comedian jobs are safe.

I've created a new AI Art section for my personal website where I'm going to share curated projects.

My first review of Pika Labs 2.0. It is safe to say I'm a fan of the new model, and even more so the brilliant "ingredients" feature. This allows for more customization of output.

Spent some time rebuilding my personal website this weekend. Including playing with the concept of "arguing with myself". ryanmorrison.uk

Creating an app is incredibly easy and it just got much easier. o1 is insanely powerful. Two hours ago I had an idea, ten minutes ago I used the outcome of that idea to generate four images for a fictional band poster.
