ElevenLabs’ new v4 speech model supports more expression control and 90 languages
ElevenLabs launched two new speech models on Monday, called ElevenLabs v4 and v4 Turbo, offering more expression control, lower latency for voice agents, and support for more than 90 languages. The company released its v3 model last year, and teased the model at an event in Warsaw earlier this year. For the v4 generation of models, ElevenLabs is adopting a new architecture that allows for better control and faster cloning.

The company released its v3 model last year, and teased the model at an event in Warsaw earlier this year. For the v4 generation of models, ElevenLabs is adopting a new architecture that allows for better control and faster cloning. The company said that with v4, users will be able to clone a voice with just 10 seconds of audio. On the creative side, the model handles voice identity better over longer chunks of text. It also keeps the context of the text in mind while reading it aloud to change expressions.
