ElevenLabs Impact Program

We've partnered with the National Federation of the Blind to make ElevenReader available to blind readers across the U.S. at no cost. The collaboration gives users lifelike narration, full screen reader compatibility, and the freedom to choose how they hear written content.

Ed Riefenstahl, the Director of Experiential Learning at TCU’s Neeley School of Business, suffered a traumatic brain injury from a fall and was later diagnosed with bulbar palsy, a condition that weakens the muscles used for speaking and swallowing.

In Spain, where dog abandonment rates are the highest in Europe, one journalist and her inseparable shadow, Colega, sparked a cultural shift. What began as a guide to dog-friendly cafés and beaches grew into Fundación SirPerro Colega—an organization focused on giving families the knowledge they need to keep their pets at home, and providing educational tools to support dog shelters.

Jules Rodriguez was diagnosed with ALS, and made the difficult decision to undergo a tracheotomy. He still wanted to perform, tell jokes on stage, and share his passion for comedy. In 2024, Jules performed his first stand-up set at Dania Improv in Miami, delivering every line in his ElevenLabs Professional Voice Clone.

When U.S. Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton began losing her voice due to Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), it seemed like the end of her ability to communicate in her own voice. But with ElevenLabs' technology, everything changed.

By recreating her voice as it sounded before her diagnosis, Congresswoman Wexton became the first lawmaker to deliver a House floor speech powered by AI, proving that even at the top of their field, people can overcome incredible challenges with the right tools.

After her diagnosis, Debbie Lopez started Living with Lemons, a YouTube vlog documenting her experience with ALS. Early on, she recorded herself regularly—not just to share her story, but to capture her natural speaking voice while she still could. In this way, she used her YouTube channel to preserve and recreate her voice.
