Key point

Lori Cohen, a lawyer who lost her voice, returned to the courtroom using ElevenLabs' AI voice cloning technology.

Details

In March 2022, renowned lawyer Lori Cohen lost her voice due to symptoms of unknown cause. This threatened to halt the courtroom activities of a veteran lawyer with 30 years of experience.

Cohen used ElevenLabs' technology to create 'Lola,' an AI voice cloning model trained on her past interviews and courtroom presentation materials. Unlike conventional robotic text-to-speech apps, Lola vividly recreated Cohen's actual voice.

Through this, Cohen has been back in the courtroom since fall 2023, continuing to argue cases through AI. This innovative attempt was recognized with the Outstanding Achievement in Legal Technology award from Law.com & Legaltech News.

ElevenLabs plans to focus on advancing its technology going forward, aiming to implement local audio generation on mobile devices and low latency to improve accessibility.
