This week, we launched Eleven Realtime for voice agents that talk to people. Now we’re opening a limited alpha of Eleven Realtime Translation, for people who need to talk to each other. Eleven Realtime Translation builds live voice translation into calls. Each person can speak their own language and hear the other person in theirs, in a natural voice, while the call is happening. It works in more than 90 languages and detects each speaker’s language automatically. Access is open to enterprise customers during the alpha.

NTT Docomo Business is trialing a voice agent for older residents of Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima, built on ElevenAgents. Heavy snow can make it hard for older residents to leave home in winter. With Takeda Health Foundation and the cooperation of Aizuwakamatsu City, NTT Docomo Business deployed CONN, its AI assistant, to share local information and hold everyday conversations.

Instant Soundtracks let you elevate any video with music and sound effects, in one pass. Upload your footage and the model scores it with original music, then watches for moments that call for an effect and places each one at the right timestamp. You can also use the original audio as a reference, so the new score matches its character. Available today in @ElevenCreative, @elevenmusic_io, and ElevenAPI.

We run our own customer support on ElevenAgents. It’s resolved over 22,000 tickets a month and cut our response time down from hours to 60 seconds. Our support team already had standard operating procedures for every major kind of ticket, like refunds, billing changes, and voice clone questions. We turned each one into a set of steps the agent follows. The agent can also look up what it needs about a customer, read text, screenshots, and PDFs, reply in the customer's language, take actions, and hand off to our team when a person is needed.

Today, Baroness Campbell of Surbiton delivered a speech in the @UKHouseofLords using an AI recreation of her voice, built by ElevenLabs. A first for the UK Parliament. Baroness Campbell has spinal muscular atrophy, which affects her speech. The Baroness has now created an AI voice that replicates the tone, rhythm, and pitch of her original voice. Our technology has now been used to restore the voices of more than 11,000 people who have lost their voices through injury or illness, and we’ve committed to help one million people living with voice loss around the world.
