ElevenLabs has released its new voice models, Eleven v4 and the real-time focused Eleven v4 Turbo, with the flagship model moving to the top of the latest Artificial Analysis text-to-speech blind test ranking. Eleven v4 is listed at 1315 Elo, ahead of Cartesia Sonic 3.6 at 1275, Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS at 1267, and Qwen-Audio-3.0-TTS-Plus at 1258. The company’s previous-generation Eleven v3 currently stands at 1169 Elo, placing 17th in the same ranking.
The new release centers on tighter control over tone, pacing, emotion, and sound effects. According to the source material, users can either specify those parameters directly or describe in natural language how a sentence should be spoken. ElevenLabs also expanded language coverage from more than 70 languages to 90-plus languages, while Instant Voice Clone requires about 10 seconds of audio. The company said the update also improves voice consistency in long-form generation and multi-speaker dialogue. For latency, official documentation shows median inference time for v3 Conversational at about 280ms, while v4 Turbo cuts that to roughly 100ms for real-time voice agent use cases.
