Text to Speech with Timing

POST
/v1/text-to-speech/:voice_id/with-timestamps

Generate speech from text with precise character-level timing information for audio-text synchronization.

Path parameters

voice_idstringRequired

Voice ID to be used, you can use https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/voices to list all the available voices.

Query parameters

enable_loggingbooleanOptional

When enable_logging is set to false full privacy mode will be used for the request. This will mean history features are unavailable for this request, including request stitching. Full privacy mode may only be used by enterprise customers.

optimize_streaming_latencyintegerOptionalDeprecated

You can turn on latency optimizations at some cost of quality. The best possible final latency varies by model. Possible values: 0 - default mode (no latency optimizations) 1 - normal latency optimizations (about 50% of possible latency improvement of option 3) 2 - strong latency optimizations (about 75% of possible latency improvement of option 3) 3 - max latency optimizations 4 - max latency optimizations, but also with text normalizer turned off for even more latency savings (best latency, but can mispronounce eg numbers and dates).

Defaults to None.

output_formatenumOptional

The output format of the generated audio.

Request

This endpoint expects an object.
textstringRequired

The text that will get converted into speech.

model_idstringOptionalDefaults to eleven_monolingual_v1

Identifier of the model that will be used, you can query them using GET /v1/models. The model needs to have support for text to speech, you can check this using the can_do_text_to_speech property.

language_codestringOptional

Language code (ISO 639-1) used to enforce a language for the model. Currently only Turbo v2.5 supports language enforcement. For other models, an error will be returned if language code is provided.

voice_settingsobjectOptional

Voice settings overriding stored setttings for the given voice. They are applied only on the given request.

pronunciation_dictionary_locatorslist of objectsOptional

A list of pronunciation dictionary locators (id, version_id) to be applied to the text. They will be applied in order. You may have up to 3 locators per request

seedintegerOptional

If specified, our system will make a best effort to sample deterministically, such that repeated requests with the same seed and parameters should return the same result. Determinism is not guaranteed. Must be integer between 0 and 4294967295.

previous_textstringOptional

The text that came before the text of the current request. Can be used to improve the flow of prosody when concatenating together multiple generations or to influence the prosody in the current generation.

next_textstringOptional

The text that comes after the text of the current request. Can be used to improve the flow of prosody when concatenating together multiple generations or to influence the prosody in the current generation.

previous_request_idslist of stringsOptional

A list of request_id of the samples that were generated before this generation. Can be used to improve the flow of prosody when splitting up a large task into multiple requests. The results will be best when the same model is used across the generations. In case both previous_text and previous_request_ids is send, previous_text will be ignored. A maximum of 3 request_ids can be send.

next_request_idslist of stringsOptional

A list of request_id of the samples that were generated before this generation. Can be used to improve the flow of prosody when splitting up a large task into multiple requests. The results will be best when the same model is used across the generations. In case both next_text and next_request_ids is send, next_text will be ignored. A maximum of 3 request_ids can be send.

apply_text_normalizationenumOptionalDefaults to auto
Allowed values: autoonoff

This parameter controls text normalization with three modes: ‘auto’, ‘on’, and ‘off’. When set to ‘auto’, the system will automatically decide whether to apply text normalization (e.g., spelling out numbers). With ‘on’, text normalization will always be applied, while with ‘off’, it will be skipped. Cannot be turned on for ‘eleven_turbo_v2_5’ model.

use_pvc_as_ivcbooleanOptionalDeprecated

If true, we won’t use PVC version of the voice for the generation but the IVC version. This is a temporary workaround for higher latency in PVC versions.
