ElevenLabs (or Eleven Labs AI) is one of the world’s leading generative AI firms. Specializing in generative AI audio, ElevenLabs voice cloning technology remains one of the most impressive examples of its class. Now, the audio AI platform impresses once more with its new “speech-to-speech” AI Voice Changer feature, allowing content creators to produce high-quality audio narration in only a couple of minutes.
What is ElevenLabs speech-to-specch voice changer?
Lined up alongside tabs for speech synthesis, dubbing, voice lab, and voice library, you’ll now find speech-to-speech, the latest tool in the ElevenLabs portfolio. Speech-to-speech audio conversion is now available. Building on its industry-leading quality AI model for text-to-speech (TTS), the firm now enables you to speak in someone else voice. Powered by real-time voice conversion, its deep learning models produce top-quality audio content, with full control over the pacing, clarity, and inflections, with the voice settings of the AI voice generator.
ElevenLabs allows you to train your own voices too, with full control over every training data sample. After training your own voice from a set of audio files (WAV recommended) you can convert text to speech, and now speech to speech – with real-time conversion possible through the API.

Using ElevenLabs voice cloning AI
True to real human intonation and emotion, ElevenLabs voice cloning is suitable for audiobooks and podcasts, and is even solidifying its place in the video games industry. It’s rumored that Rockstar is implementing AI to some extent in the upcoming installment of the Grand Theft Auto franchise – GTA 6. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick commented that “everyone’s working on” AI NPC technology in the video games industry. The prospect of having dynamic and contextual conversations with NPCs, who each have effectively infinite lines without needing to be scripted, is an extremely attractive proposition for developers.
One such firm pushing the boundaries in this vertical is Inworld AI. Inworld’s character engine is enabling these generative interactions, voiced by none other than ElevenLabs voice technology.
ElevenLabs and Inworld AI
It’s a very exciting time to love open-world games. In 2024, we can expect to see the names Inworld AI and ElevenLabs become a mainstream name in the gaming industry, with fans excited to see these two firms involved in an upcoming release.
Together, these two companies can revolutionize the depth and diversity of storytelling possible in a video game at scale. Remember that each NPC can be customized with a paragraph or five about their needs and wants, friends and family, their whole life story and how they relate to other NPCs throughout the game. That NPC then becomes more real than ever before possible. That’s my personal prediction, at least.
