No Browser Needed: ElevenLabs Rolls Out Text-to-Speech App for Smartphones

ElevenLabs has come up with a new way for people to create voice clips using just their phones. It’s a mobile app now, works on both iPhone and Android, and it doesn’t ask you to open a web browser anymore.

Before this, if someone wanted to make audio using ElevenLabs’ voice tools, they had to rely on the website. It was fine for the most part, but it wasn’t exactly easy when you were trying to do it from a smartphone. The whole thing felt a bit clunky, not something you’d call smooth or quick. This new app? It’s designed to fix that. You can now make voice clips anywhere, without the usual hassle.

Here’s how it works. You write or paste the words, pick a voice from the list, and the app builds the audio clip for you. The free plan? It gives you roughly ten minutes of audio time. People can also choose between voice models depending on how much they want to spend or how polished they want the sound to be. One thing that makes it easier, the credits work across both mobile and web, so you won’t lose track no matter where you’re working from.
The company also added their latest voice system inside this app. It’s called v3 alpha. This one gives you more control over how the voices sound. You can even add little tags to change the mood or the tone while the text is being turned into speech.

Turns out, lots of people had already been trying to use ElevenLabs from their phones. They were using the web version to build audio for apps like Instagram, InShot, CapCut, tools where people mix voice clips into videos. Since so many had already found a way to make it work on mobile, the company figured it should just build something that actually fits.

Of course, there are other apps doing voice cloning and generation. Speechify’s one of them. Captions too. ElevenLabs is now moving into that space.

This isn’t the first time ElevenLabs has made something for regular users. Last year, they put out the Reader app. That one lets people listen to articles, blogs, e-books, PDFs (whatever they want) while they’re on the move. Later on, they opened that same app to publishers. It gave them a chance to turn their content into audiobooks, which made it easier for people to listen instead of read.

The company’s not stopping here. They’re planning to add more features to this new mobile app. Speech-to-text is coming. There’s also talk about a conversational AI tool. They’re thinking of bringing in more advanced systems too, the kind that work with their own platform, 11.ai.
