Realistic text to speech, billed by the character
This AI voice generator sends your text to ElevenLabs through our server and returns the audio as a 128 kbps MP3. ElevenLabs voices are known for natural pacing, breathing and emphasis, so this realistic text to speech works well for narration, explainer videos, e-learning and accessibility. The voice list comes from the configured ElevenLabs account, so it may include multilingual voices that read text in many languages.
Pricing is by length: every 100 characters (or part of it) costs a fixed number of credits, and the exact cost appears before you click Generate. New accounts start with free credits; more can be bought as one-time packs. If ElevenLabs fails to generate the audio, the credits are refunded automatically. Text to MP3 runs once per click, so edit your script before you generate to avoid paying twice.
Punctuation shapes the delivery. Commas and full stops add natural pauses, question marks lift the end of a sentence, and splitting a long script into shorter paragraphs keeps the voice fresh. Numbers, dates and abbreviations are read in their usual spoken form.
Your text is sent to ElevenLabs only to produce the audio and is not stored by ToolDash. Don't paste anything confidential, and make sure you have the right to publish the words you turn into speech. The elevenlabs voices offered here are stock voices; cloning a real person's voice isn't supported.
