# ElevenLabs

> Speech to text transcription and text to speech with natural-sounding voices

ElevenLabs provides speech-to-text transcription and high-quality text-to-speech capabilities for your agent.

## Voice transcription

All audio transcription on the platform uses ElevenLabs Scribe — no setup or API key needed.

**How to use:** Press the mic button in the chat to dictate, or upload an audio or video file (for example a meeting recording) to an agent.

* **Mic button**: your speech becomes clean text — filler words are stripped, and you can set your preferred transcription language in your user settings.
* **Uploaded recordings**: the transcript includes who said what and when, with each speaker labelled and timestamped:

```
**[0:03] Speaker 1:** Shall we get started?

**[0:05] Speaker 2:** Yes, let's go through the agenda.
```

**Example use cases:**

* Talk instead of typing to your agent
* Drop a meeting recording and ask the agent to summarize decisions per person

<Info>
  See [Voice Communication](/features/voice) for details on voice input and walk-and-talk mode.

<Note>
  Workspace admins can decline ElevenLabs under **Workspace settings → Data processors**. Transcription then falls back to OpenAI Whisper — plain text without speaker labels or timestamps.
</Note>

## Generated voiceovers

Go to **Settings → Capabilities** and enable **Text to Speech**. ElevenLabs is one of the available voice providers — your agent can pick a specific ElevenLabs voice per request when generating audio files as a tool (for example, an audio summary embedded in a newsletter).

<Note>
  OpenAI's text-to-speech is also available as an alternative. Both options are included in the Text to Speech capability.
</Note>

**Example use cases:**

* "In the weekly newsletter, include an audio clip of the executive summary"
* "Generate a voiceover for this script using a male Scottish voice"
* "Every morning, generate a 'daily Mr President' style update that I can listen to while driving to work"

## Agent voice

ElevenLabs voices also show up as options for the agent's own voice — the one used by the Speak button and [Walk & Talk mode](/features/voice#walk--talk-mode). Premade, professional, and cloned voices are all available, alongside OpenAI voices, in a single dropdown under **Settings → Basic Information → Voice**.
