ElevenLabs exits beta, releases "Eleven Multilingual v2" supporting around 30 languages
ElevenLabs has officially exited beta and released “Eleven Multilingual v2,” a speech synthesis model supporting around 30 languages. It’s a foundation model designed to make it easier for media companies, game developers, publishers, and individual creators to localize content for audiences around the world.
Details
- Language coverage: Supports around 30 languages, covering Europe, Asia, and the Middle East
- Automatic language detection: Automatically identifies the language of input text and generates speech with appropriate emotional expression
- Voice consistency: Preserves a speaker’s distinctive voice quality and accent across languages, for both synthetic and cloned voices
- Intended use cases: Envisioned for multilingual audiobook production, game localization, and creators producing content for overseas audiences
- A milestone: Moving to a full release roughly seven months after the January 2023 beta launch, underscoring the platform’s growing maturity
What happened next
Eleven Multilingual v2 became positioned as the multilingual foundation underpinning later dubbing and voice-agent features. Five months later, in January 2024, ElevenLabs raised an $80 million Series B, growing into a unicorn company valued at $1.1 billion.
