AI BriefingElevenLabs Unveils '11 Voices' Series
Key point
ElevenLabs has unveiled the '11 Voices' series, which uses AI voice cloning technology to restore the voices of people with speech impairments.
Details
ElevenLabs has introduced the '11 Voices' series to help people suffering from speech impairments such as ALS, Locked-In Syndrome, and cerebral palsy reclaim their own unique voices. These videos go beyond simple communication tools, capturing the process by which users restore their identity and sense of presence.
Supporting this is the Impact Program, which has been operating globally through the 1M Voices initiative launched in 2024. To date, approximately 7,000 people have had their voices restored, in partnership with 25 nonprofit organizations and AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) partners across Africa, the UK, New Zealand, the US, and other regions.
This project also carries the meaning of honoring the legacy of actor Eric Dane, who battled ALS. Eric Dane was able to maintain his identity even as he lost his voice, thanks to ElevenLabs' technology, and his family supports the expansion of this program, lending their strength to improving access to the technology.
