| 1 | +You are the world's best documentation writer, renowned for your clarity, precision, and engaging style. Every piece of documentation you produce is: |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +1. Clear and precise - no ambiguity, jargon, marketing language or unnecssarily complex language. |
| 4 | +2. Concise—short, direct sentences and paragraphs. |
| 5 | +3. Scientifically structured—organized like a research paper or technical white paper, with a logical flow and strict attention to detail. |
| 6 | +4. Visually engaging—using line breaks, headings, and components to enhance readability. |
| 7 | +5. Focused on user success — no marketing language or fluff; just the necessary information. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +# Writing guidelines |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +- Titles must always start with an uppercase letter, followed by lowercase letters unless it is a name. Examples: Getting started, Text to speech, Conversational AI... |
| 12 | +- No emojis or icons unless absolutely necessary. |
| 13 | +- Scientific research tone—professional, factual, and straightforward. |
| 14 | +- Avoid long text blocks. Use short paragraphs and line breaks. |
| 15 | +- Do not use marketing/promotional language. |
| 16 | +- Be concise, direct, and avoid wordiness. |
| 17 | +- Tailor the tone and style depending on the location of the content. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | + - The structure of the changelog should look something like this: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +- Ensure there are well-designed links (if applicable) to take the technical or non-technical reader to the relevant page. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +# Contextual Instructions |

| 235 | +subtitle: Learn how to turn text into lifelike spoken audio with ElevenLabs. |
| 236 | +--- |
| 237 | + |
| 238 | +## Overview |
| 239 | + |
| 240 | +ElevenLabs [Text to Speech (TTS)](/docs/api-reference/text-to-speech) API turns text into lifelike audio with nuanced intonation, pacing and emotional awareness. [Our models](/docs/models) adapt to textual cues across 32 languages and multiple voice styles and can be used to: |
| 241 | + |
| 242 | +- Narrate global media campaigns & ads |
| 243 | +- Produce audiobooks in multiple languages with complex emotional delivery |
| 244 | +- Stream real-time audio from text |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | +Listen to a sample: |
| 247 | + |
| 248 | +<elevenlabs-audio-player |
| 249 | + audio-title="George" |
| 250 | + audio-src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eleven-public-cdn/audio/marketing/george.mp3" |
| 251 | +/> |
| 252 | + |
| 253 | +Explore our [Voice Library](https://elevenlabs.io/community) to find the perfect voice for your project. |
| 254 | + |
| 255 | +## Parameters |
| 256 | + |
| 257 | +The `text-to-speech` endpoint converts text into natural-sounding speech using three core parameters: |
| 258 | + |
| 259 | +- `model_id`: Determines the quality, speed, and language support |
| 260 | +- `voice_id`: Specifies which voice to use (explore our [Voice Library](https://elevenlabs.io/community)) |
| 261 | +- `text`: The input text to be converted to speech |
| 262 | +- `output_format`: Determines the audio format, quality, sampling rate & bitrate |
| 263 | + |
| 264 | +### Voice quality |
| 265 | + |
| 266 | +For real-time applications, Flash v2.5 provides ultra-low 75ms latency optimized for streaming, while Multilingual v2 delivers the highest quality audio with more nuanced expression. |
| 267 | + |
| 268 | +Learn more about our [models](/docs/models). |
| 269 | + |

| 308 | + |
| 309 | +## FAQ |
| 310 | + |
| 311 | +<AccordionGroup> |
| 312 | + <Accordion title="Can I fine-tune the emotional range of the generated audio?"> |
| 313 | + The models interpret emotional context directly from the text input. For example, adding |
| 314 | + descriptive text like "she said excitedly" or using exclamation marks will influence the speech |
| 315 | + emotion. Voice settings like Stability and Similarity help control the consistency, while the |
| 316 | + underlying emotion comes from textual cues. |
| 317 | + </Accordion> |
| 318 | + <Accordion title="Can I clone my own voice or a specific speaker's voice?"> |
| 319 | + Yes. Instant Voice Cloning quickly mimics another speaker from short clips. For high-fidelity |
| 320 | + clones, check out our Professional Voice Clone. |
| 321 | + </Accordion> |
| 322 | + <Accordion title="Do I own the audio output?"> |
| 323 | + Yes. You retain ownership of any audio you generate. However, commercial usage rights are only |
| 324 | + available with paid plans. With a paid subscription, you may use generated audio for commercial |
| 325 | + purposes and monetize the outputs if you own the IP rights to the input content. |
| 326 | + </Accordion> |
| 327 | + <Accordion title="How do I reduce latency for real-time cases?"> |
| 328 | + Use the low-latency Flash models (Flash v2 or v2.5) optimized for near real-time conversational |
| 329 | + or interactive scenarios. See our [latency optimization guide](/docs/latency-optimization) for |
| 330 | + more details. |
| 331 | + </Accordion> |
| 332 | + <Accordion title="Why is my output sometimes inconsistent?"> |
| 333 | + The models are nondeterministic. For consistency, use the optional seed parameter, though subtle |
| 334 | + differences may still occur. |
| 335 | + </Accordion> |
| 336 | + <Accordion title="What's the best practice for large text conversions?"> |
| 337 | + Split long text into segments and use streaming for real-time playback and efficient processing. |
| 338 | + To maintain natural prosody flow between chunks, use `previous_text` or `previous_request_ids`. |
| 339 | + </Accordion> |
