> ElevenLabs has grown from a text-to-speech startup into a full audio stack, and it shows in the breadth of what the platform now does: expressive text-to-speech, dubbing across languages, music generation, voice cloning, and customer-facing voice agents for sales, support, and training. Recent SDK updates added multimodal message input, image support, and better visibility into voice quality and assessment. The company's momentum is not just technical. It is reportedly in early talks for a secondary share sale that would roughly double its valuation to 22 billion dollars, a striking number for a voice company. And its work is showing up in unexpected places, including a Netflix partnership that recreated Gene Wilder's voice for a Willy Wonka reality series. For developers, the draw is the API surface: you can wire natural-sounding speech, real-time voice agents, and dubbing into a product without building any of the underlying audio models yourself.
