ElevenLabs announced the 'One Million Voices' initiative at SXSW, using AI voice restoration technology to support people who have lost their voices.

Details

ElevenLabs is hosting a panel session at SXSW on the importance and identity of AI-based voice restoration technology. The session was organized to honor the legacy of actor Eric Dane, who recreated his voice with ElevenLabs' technology before losing it to ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).

Actress Rebecca Gayheart Dane will join the panel 'Hello Again: Restoring Voices with AI' to share what the AI technology meant to their family and the importance of expanding access to the technology. The panel will also premiere the documentary series '11 Voices', in which people who have lost their voices tell their stories using their AI-generated voices.

Through the '1 Million Voices' initiative, ElevenLabs is fulfilling a $1 billion in-kind commitment to provide free, lifetime voice restoration technology to 1 million people with voice loss worldwide.

  • Support status: Approximately 7,000 people supported across 49 countries
