New ElevenLabs Real-time Translation Service

ElevenLabs’ Realtime Translation is a simultaneous interpretation service launched by ElevenLabs. It can instantly translate spoken words into another language in the form of audio, while preserving the speaker’s tone and expressiveness, ensuring that the result doesn’t sound like machine-generated text being read aloud.

It supports over 90 languages and enables real-time two-way translation, making it ideal for scenarios such as cross-border meetings, customer service calls, and live online events where simultaneous speaking and translation are required. The official version emphasizes its enterprise-level security features and is primarily targeted at corporate clients.

ElevenLabs itself has an excellent reputation in the field of speech synthesis. By integrating translation and speech synthesis, the overall experience is much smoother than the traditional process of “converting text to speech first, then translating it, and finally reading it out aloud”. Currently, users need to contact the sales department to activate this feature; individual users find it rather difficult to use it directly.
