ElevenLabs has recently launched its latest voice synthesis model, Flash, claiming it to be the fastest text-to-speech (TTS) solution to date, with a voice generation delay of only 75 milliseconds (plus application and network latency). Flash is particularly suited for low-latency conversational voice assistants, allowing users to experience this new feature instantly on ElevenLabs' conversational AI platform.
The Flash model comes in two versions: Flash v2, which supports only English, and Flash v2.5, which supports 32 languages. When using either of these models, users will consume 1 point for every two characters generated. Although the Flash model is slightly inferior to the Turbo model in terms of sound quality and emotional depth, its low-latency performance allows it to surpass other similar products in blind tests, making it the fastest choice among its peers.
ElevenLabs' technical team stated that the launch of the Flash model will greatly enhance the fluidity and naturalness of human-computer interactions. Developers can directly access the model IDs “eleven_flash_v2” and “eleven_flash_v2_5” via the API, with specific API documentation available on the ElevenLabs official website. Through this innovation, ElevenLabs hopes to enable more low-latency, human-like conversational interactions.
ElevenLabs also offers a variety of products and solutions, including customized voice assistants, audio production tools, and voice-over studios, aimed at helping users and developers across different fields achieve high-quality AI audio creation. Additionally, ElevenLabs is actively engaged in research and development to continuously enhance the technical level of its products to meet the growing demands of users.
