When bestselling author
Leeanna Morgan decided to narrate her own audiobook, she didn’t book a recording studio. She used
ElevenLabs. What she discovered wasn’t just a cost-cutting tool—it was a doorway into a new dimension of synthetic voice, one that now defines the way brands, creators, and developers communicate at scale.
Launched in 2022 by former Google and Palantir engineers Piotr Dąbkowski and Mateusz Staniszewski, ElevenLabs quickly emerged as one of the most transformative names in voice AI. Headquartered in New York City, the company developed a deep learning engine capable of speech synthesis, dubbing, and voice cloning in more than 70 languages—quickly becoming the go-to solution for media houses, game studios, and accessibility-focused developers alike.
What makes ElevenLabs remarkable isn’t just its scale, but its versatility.
TIME,
HarperCollins, and
The Washington Post have all leaned on the platform to narrate articles and create multilingual audiobooks. In gaming, studios like
Paradox Interactive have collapsed voiceover production timelines from weeks to hours. And in perhaps its most human application, more than 1,000 patients with degenerative speech conditions have used ElevenLabs to preserve their voices.
The result is more than buzz—it’s a new standard. ElevenLabs has helped mainstream the idea that AI-generated voices can carry nuance, emotion, and personality. It’s not just a tool for translation or automation—it’s a vehicle for expression.
But the evolution of voice AI is far from settled—and it’s no longer a one-company story.
AI Voice Over (AIVO), Crespo AI’s flagship voice platform, was designed for a different kind of user: the creator who wants to move fast, the entrepreneur who demands brand clarity, and the marketer looking for scalable narration tools. Without sacrificing output quality, AIVO has become the platform of choice for countless startups, educators, and content-driven businesses.
From seamless script input to emotion presets and personal voice cloning, AIVO empowers users to generate production-ready audio with speed and precision. And it’s not just catching up—it’s changing expectations entirely.
As voice becomes a core part of digital identity, platforms like AIVO aren’t just alternatives. They are strong competitors, accelerating what it means to speak at scale.
