Voice AI company ElevenLabs just released a standalone mobile app for iOS and Android users to generate voice clips from text.
Until now, if you had to generate samples using ElevenLabs’ AI-powered voice libraries, you had to rely on its web app. Now, you can use its mobile app to generate clips on the go.
To use the app, you simply type or paste in the text, then select a suitable voice to generate an audio clip. The free plan gives users access to roughly 10 minutes of audio generation. You can choose different models to balance cost and quality, and you’ll have a shared credit limit between the web and mobile app.
ElevenLabs also said that the app has access to v3 alpha, its newest text-to-speech models, which allow users to control expressions with tags.
Jack McDermott, the company’s mobile growth lead, told TechCrunch that a lot of creators already use a web browser on mobile to create voice samples to use in videos with other apps like CapCut, Instagram, or Inshot. Seeing this demand, the company wanted to build a native experience.
“Over the past year, we’ve seen an explosion of creativity from our community — content creators, marketers, educators, voice artists, and professionals using ElevenLabs to bring projects to life. Many have accessed ElevenLabs from mobile web browsers and asked for a faster, intuitive, more powerful experience built natively for mobile,” he said, in an email message.
The company will also compete with other voice cloning and generation tools like Speechify and Captions.
This is ElevenLabs’ second consumer-facing app after it released the Reader app last year to let users listen to articles, blogs, PDFs, and eBooks on the go. Earlier this year, it also opened up the Reader app for publishers to distribute audiobooks.
Going forward, the company aims to release other new features like speech-to-text, a conversational AI agent tool, and add MCP-powered experiences like 11.ai to the app.
