No, the Python SDK for ElevenLabs does not currently support streaming input for speech-to-text functionality. The Speech-to-Speech API primarily focuses on streaming the output audio after processing, rather than accepting streaming input. This is because the models require the full context of the input speech to make accurate predictions, and processing typically begins only after receiving a sufficient amount of audio.

For real-time input streaming, you could consider breaking the audio into smaller chunks and processing them sequentially, though this may introduce some latency.

Yes, the ElevenLabs Python SDK supports streaming text-to-speech output. You can stream audio as it is being generated in real-time, which reduces latency. This is particularly useful when the input text is available up-front.

To implement this, you can use the generate and stream functions from the ElevenLabs SDK. Here's a basic example:

from elevenlabs import generate, stream

def text_stream():
    yield "Hi there, I'm Eleven "
    yield "I'm a text to speech API "

audio_stream = generate(
    text=text_stream(),
    voice="Nicole",
    model="eleven_monolingual_v1",
    stream=True
)

stream(audio_stream)

This code streams the audio output as it is generated, providing a seamless experience. For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the Streaming text to speech documentation.
