Everything About Text to Speech

Answers to the most common questions about AI voice generation.

What is text to speech and how does it work?

Text to speech (TTS) converts written text into spoken audio using AI. ElevenLabs uses advanced deep learning to generate speech that sounds remarkably close to a natural human voice โ€” including natural rhythm, intonation, and emphasis.

Is VoiceWave completely free?

Yes โ€” completely free. No hidden charges, no premium tiers, no credit card. Generate and download as many audio files as you need at no cost.

Can I preview voices before generating?

Yes! Click the โ–ถ play button on any voice card to hear a real audio sample of that voice. Each voice sounds completely different so you can pick the perfect one.

How do I add pauses to my audio?

Use the Insert Pause buttons above the text area. A short pause (comma) adds about 0.5 seconds, medium (semicolon) adds 1 second, and long (ellipsis) adds 1.5โ€“2 seconds. You can also type these punctuation marks directly into your text.

What is the Stability slider?

Stability controls how consistent the voice sounds. Lower stability (0.3โ€“0.4) gives more expressive, varied speech. Higher stability (0.7โ€“0.9) gives a more consistent, monotone delivery. Around 0.5 is a good starting point for most uses.

How long can my text be?

VoiceWave supports up to 3,000 characters per conversion โ€” around 400โ€“500 words or 3 minutes of audio. For longer texts, split into sections and generate each separately.

What can I use the audio for?

Generated MP3 files can be used for YouTube videos, podcasts, e-learning, audiobooks, presentations, social media, and any personal or commercial project. No restrictions on usage.

How is AI TTS used in accessibility?

TTS is one of the most important accessibility technologies available โ€” it helps people with dyslexia, visual impairments, or reading difficulties consume written content as audio, and supports language learners and hands-free consumption.
