Adobe Captivate Transforms eLearning with ElevenLabs’ AI Voice Technology

Creating engaging eLearning content requires more than just visuals — voice plays a crucial role in enhancing comprehension and retention. However, traditional AI voice solutions often disrupt workflows, forcing educators and content creators to switch between tools and manually stitch together multiple audio clips to simulate conversations.

With the Adobe Captivate 12.5 update, powered by ElevenLabs’ AI voice technology, these challenges are a thing of the past. Captivate now allows users to convert closed captions into natural-sounding speech directly within the platform, making voice generation a seamless part of the content creation process.

Adobe Captivate now offers 150 AI voices across 10 languages, allowing course creators to customize voice tone, style, and language to suit their audience. Whether it’s an engaging corporate training module, an interactive educational course, or compliance training, Captivate ensures that the narration sounds natural and immersive.

Before this update, Captivate users faced two major pain points:

• Fragmented workflow – Users had to leave Captivate to generate AI voice clips and then re-import them, adding extra steps and delays.
•  Manual audio stitching – Creating conversations required rendering multiple separate clips, making the process time-consuming and rigid.

The new AI voice integration eliminates both issues, letting creators generate and fine-tune speech in real-time without leaving Captivate.

Early adopters of this feature are already seeing significant improvements in their workflow:

• Faster content creation – No need to switch between tools or manually stitch audio clips.
•  More engaging courses – Natural-sounding voices make lessons more immersive and accessible.
• Greater flexibility – Wide voice selection allows for a personalized learning experience.

"I’ve been using third-party AI voice solutions for years, but they always required extra steps. Now, with AI voices built directly into Captivate, I can generate lifelike narration without disrupting my workflow. It’s a game-changer."

With Adobe Captivate and ElevenLabs, eLearning professionals can now focus on what matters most—creating impactful, high-quality courses that reach learners worldwide.
