Kevin’s take
“ElevenLabs is the one for voices. Type some text and it reads it back in a startlingly natural voice — good enough for audiobooks, narration, and the like. It can also copy a voice from a short recording, which is clever and, frankly, a little eerie. Hugely capable. Just worth remembering what voice-cloning can be used for.”
— Kevin, formerly of IT Support
