Introduction to ElevenLabs Reader App
ElevenLabs Reader App is a text-to-speech application launched by AI voice startup ElevenLabs, using AI technology to convert various text content, such as articles, PDF files, ePub, and more, into natural, fluent, high-quality speech. Users can choose from a rich voice library to select different voices and adjust the reading speed to suit different reading or audiobook scenarios. The app is currently free to download and use for three months for iOS users (the Android version is yet to be launched), initially supports English, and plans to expand to more than 29 languages in the future (the Chinese version for iOS is expected to be released on July 11), to achieve broader language coverage and global promotion.
