PopularityRank 451 of 876

31out of 100same as last month

Summary

Eleven v3 Conversational uses the Text to Dialogue WebSocket for voice-agent dialogue rather than plain TTS. It generates expressive, context-aware speech and supports more than 70 languages. ElevenLabs puts model latency at about 280 ms, excluding application and network time.

Compared with Eleven v3, Eleven v3 Conversational uses the Text to Dialogue WebSocket for the real-time path. ElevenLabs cites about 280 ms of model latency to the response; the figure excludes the agent, network, and application.

Status

2026-10-17
Methodology
Vendor-reported result. Gradium hard-case TTS evaluation generated in August 2026 with default settings. The 500-sentence set has 100 sentences per language in English, German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Independent native-speaker raters heard randomized, loudness-normalized outputs. The all-criteria sentence pass rate is pooled across ten criteria and averaged across the five languages with equal language weights. Voice IDs and immutable API revisions are not published. Exact table model: ElevenLabs v3 Conversational.
Context
Gradium is a competing TTS vendor and reports its own comparison; source type is vendor-reported, not an independent leaderboard. The four comparison models were selected by Gradium. The score is macro-weighted across languages and criteria, so no single pooled sentence denominator or confidence interval is asserted. Voice IDs and serving revisions are unspecified.

Independent evaluation. Exact Speko internal route elevenlabs:eleven_v3_conversational, displayed model eleven_v3_conversational; English phone-agent lines; naturalness Elo from blind human A/B listening votes, field mean 1500. This is the exact displayed naturalness score, not the separate win-rate field.
Context
The evaluator does not publish a per-model sample count, Elo confidence interval, immutable provider checkpoint or full generation controls. The board’s separate 95% interval applies to win percentage against the field, not this Elo value, so it is not copied here. Newer Speko TTS methodology material is not retrofitted to this older board snapshot.

Independent evaluation. Exact Speko internal route elevenlabs:eleven_v3_conversational, displayed model eleven_v3_conversational; robustness quality axis, reported on 0-1. The board defines it as severity-weighted correctness for spoken numbers, dates, currency and operators. It is a content-robustness measure, not naturalness, latency or price.
Context
No total test denominator, per-model N, confidence interval, immutable serving revision or complete settings are published. The score is evaluator-defined and task-specific. The S2.1 Pro route is not the distinct Fish Audio S2 Pro profile.

Watermarking and provenance

AI watermarking refers to invisible signals embedded in the output. Visible marks and provenance metadata are listed separately. Unknown means there is insufficient evidence for that particular field.

AI watermarking
Subject to limitations. ElevenLabs describes an inaudible watermark in its own generated audio and identifies SynthID, including for speech generation. Older recordings made before its introduction and third-party model outputs are not automatically covered.
