‘We’re not cowboys’: AI voice cloning firm ElevenLabs opens Sydney office
The USD11 billion AI startup, whose voice cloning tools have raised deepfake concerns, is expanding its enterprise presence in Australia and NZ.
AI voice startup ElevenLabs, best known for its hyper-realistic text-to-speech software and voice cloning technology, has officially arrived in Australia.
The London-headquartered company is opening an office in Sydney and has appointed former Slack regional vice president Damian Naughton as general manager for ANZ.
ElevenLabs, founded in 2022 by Piotr Dąbkowski and Mati Staniszewski before launching publicly the following year, offers a suite of AI-powered speech and audio tools that allow users to generate human-sounding speech from text.
Its early models became known for producing speech that sounded less robotic and more emotionally textured than many rival text-to-speech tools.
