ElevenLabs has introduced a new feature that allows users to incorporate pauses in speech through their API and Speech Synthesis page, with pauses having a maximum duration of three seconds and billed at 10 characters each. This enhancement aims to improve the natural flow of speech in applications using ElevenLabs' technology. Additionally, the company's Impact Program, launched a year ago, is working toward providing one million voices to individuals with permanent speech loss due to conditions like ALS, cerebral palsy, and PSP. The ElevenLabs platform supports a wide range of applications, offering high-quality AI audio capabilities and continuing to expand access to patients and clinicians via their website.
