ElevenLabs or MiniMax Speech?
Is it one read that has to be perfect, or three hundred that have to be consistent?
The short answer
ElevenLabs
ElevenLabs
ElevenLabs for the read a person will actually listen to: pauses, breath and emphasis where a person would put them, the same voice across dozens of languages, and characters that hold.
Natural reads
Pauses, breath and emphasis where a person would put them.
Any language
The same voice in French, Yoruba-accented English or Portuguese.
Characters
Grumpy wizards, cheerful robots, calm coaches.
MiniMax
MiniMax Speech
MiniMax Speech for volume and for length — emotion you can direct in a word, an hour of narration that stays steady, and a price built for every product in the catalogue.
Emotion you can direct
Happy, tired, urgent — say the feeling and hear it.
Long-form
Audiobooks and explainers that stay steady for an hour.
Made for many
Hundreds of lines for every product in the catalogue.
Either way the price is quoted before the render runs, and a render that fails is never charged for. If you would rather not choose, the studio picks for you on every ordinary render — this page is for when you would.
