Eleven v4 extends ElevenLabs' speech generation work toward more directed performances. Built on a new architecture, it uses the surrounding script to guide who is speaking, the emotional context and how a line is delivered. Its controls include multiple speakers and directions for vocal expression and sound effects.
The model is designed for work such as character dialogue, narration and multilingual productions, with attention to preserving a speaker's identity across longer passages. Alongside v4, ElevenLabs introduced a Turbo variant for real-time experiences, separating long-form creative production from the latency demands of interactive voices.
