ElevenLabsSpeech Engine

ElevenLabs handles the voice layer. You own the agent.

Attach Speech Engine to your server and get real-time voice without rebuilding your stack. ElevenLabs captures audio, transcribes it, and speaks responses — your LLM decides what to say.

Learn about Speech Engine

  • Ultra-low latency voice

    Scribe v2 Realtime (~150ms STT) and Flash TTS (~75ms) for natural back-and-forth.

  • One integrated pipeline

    Speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and voice orchestration — no stitching vendors together.

  • Bring your own LLM

    Your prompts, tools, and long-term journal memory stay on your server.

  • Smart turn-taking

    Built-in interruption handling — users can cut in mid-response, just like a real conversation.
