ElevenLabs to launch AI for the creation of unique sound effects
gence (AI) voice startup ElevenLabs has teased the launch of AI sound effects, bringing about generated audio for the first time. Following the release of Sora, an exciting new text-to-video AI tool by OpenAI, London-based ElevenLabs used Sora’s sound limitations to share their news.
