ElevenLabs voice cloning is widely considered the most realistic on the market, consistently outperforming competitors in both fidelity and natural-sounding output. Instant Voice Cloning needs only 1-5 minutes of sample audio and produces recognizable results that capture the core characteristics of the original voice, including tone and speaking style. Professional Voice Cloning, available on Creator plans and above, uses a longer training process with more audio samples to produce near-indistinguishable clones with greater accuracy in emotional range and pronunciation. The platform requires users to verify they have consent to clone a voice, ensuring ethical usage. Cloned voices can express a range of emotions, adjust pacing contextually, and deliver content in multiple languages while maintaining the speaker's voice identity.

ElevenLabs supports 32 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Hindi, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and many others. The AI Dubbing feature is particularly powerful, as it can translate and re-voice content across all supported languages while preserving the original speaker's voice characteristics, emotional delivery, and speaking cadence. English, Spanish, and major European languages deliver the most polished results with natural intonation and pronunciation. Asian languages including Japanese, Korean, and Chinese have seen significant improvements and produce high-quality output for most use cases. Less common languages continue to improve with each platform update. The multi-language support makes ElevenLabs especially valuable for content creators and businesses looking to reach global audiences from a single piece of source content.
