Currently, ElevenLabs v3 (Alpha) is only available in the Text-to-Speech playground and not yet integrated into the Studio or API. As it is an experimental research preview, it is being gradually rolled out across features. For now, you can use the Text-to-Speech playground with v3 for shorter content.

If you have further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask!

Yes, you can use ElevenLabs' Text-to-Speech API in JavaScript to generate speech. While the API does not currently support direct manipulation of specific emotions like crying or shouting, you can influence the emotional tone of the output through the text input and certain settings.

Here are some tips for adding emotional nuance via the API:

  1. Text Context: Use emotionally descriptive text or cues in your input, such as "[angrily]" or "[softly]", to guide the tone of the speech.

  2. Punctuation: Add punctuation like ellipses (...), exclamation marks (!), or question marks (?) to influence the delivery style.

  3. Voice Settings: Adjust the stability and style_exaggeration parameters in the API. Lowering stability introduces more variation, while increasing style exaggeration enhances expressiveness.

  4. Voice Cloning: If you're using a cloned voice, ensure the samples you upload include a range of emotional expressions. The AI's ability to replicate emotions depends heavily on the emotional variety in the training samples.

Keep in mind that the platform has limitations in replicating highly specific emotions like shouting or whispering. However, ElevenLabs is working on features to provide more direct control over emotional expression in the future.

For more details on using the API, refer to the API References.

Currently, ElevenLabs does not support direct emotional tags like [excited] in the text parameter for the API. However, you can influence the emotional tone of the generated speech by carefully crafting the text input. Here are some tips:

  1. Context and Phrasing: Write the text in a way that naturally conveys the desired emotion. For example, using exclamation marks or emotionally charged language can help the AI pick up on the intended tone.

  2. Dialogue Tags: Add descriptive dialogue tags to your text, such as:

    • "This is amazing!" she exclaimed excitedly.
    • "Don't test me!" he shouted angrily.

  3. Voice Settings: Adjust the stability and style_exaggeration parameters in the API. Lowering stability can introduce more variation in tone, while increasing style exaggeration can make the voice more expressive.

  4. Voice Selection: Choose a voice that naturally has a wider emotional range or matches the tone you are aiming for.

At this time, the platform does not allow for precise emotional adjustments like crying or yelling. The team is working on enhancing emotional control, but these features are not yet available. For more details on the API, you can refer to the API References.
