ElevenLabs launches AI-powered iPhone app that converts any website into a podcast: The new ElevenLabs Reader app allows users to listen to any content, from novels to web pages, using the platform’s extensive library of cloned and synthetic voices.

• The app, currently available for iPhone users in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., offers a 3-month free trial with near-unlimited generations and access to high-quality voices.
• Users can clone their own voice for a personalized listening experience, making it feel like they recorded the content themselves.
• ElevenLabs plans to expand the app to more countries, devices, and languages soon, with an early access waitlist for Android users.

Enhancing productivity and convenience: The ElevenLabs Reader app facilitates hands-free consumption of various types of content, catering to different use cases and making information more accessible.

• Users can listen to study materials, corporate reports, shopping lists, or recipes while multitasking, walking around, or driving.
• The app’s natural and varied voices set it apart from similar offerings, providing a more engaging and immersive listening experience.
• By pasting links, copying text, uploading files, or selecting preloaded stories, users can quickly start listening to content without the need for manual recording.

Customizable voices for different content types: ElevenLabs Reader offers a wide range of voice options, allowing users to select the most appropriate voice for the content they are listening to.

• The app provides voices with various accents, speaking styles, and tones, catering to different genres and purposes.
• Users can choose a late-night radio voice for true crime stories, a confident professional voice for business reports, or professor-like voices for textbooks and research papers.

Broader implications:
The launch of ElevenLabs Reader highlights the growing trend of AI-powered tools that make content more accessible and convenient to consume. As these technologies advance, they have the potential to transform the way people interact with and absorb information across various domains, from education to entertainment. However, the app’s current limitations, such as reading page furniture and ads, may affect the overall listening experience. As ElevenLabs continues to refine its product and expand its reach, it will be interesting to observe how the app evolves and impacts the way people engage with written content in their daily lives.
