Introducing the all-new ElevenReader

This week, we’re introducing the all-new ElevenReader, powered by Eleven v4.

ElevenReader is our award-winning app for iOS, Android, and web that turns anything you want to read into lifelike audio. Upload a PDF, eBook, document, or article, access your content from Kindle or Google Docs, choose from 1,000+ voices, and listen wherever you are.

Now, with Eleven v4, your listening gets a major upgrade. Our most expressive Text to Speech model yet brings more natural, dynamic voices, customizable voice controls, and support for 90+ languages to ElevenReader.

Best of all, these updates are entirely available on both our Free and Ultra plans — no added cost.

ElevenReader with Eleven v4 has helped my focus tremendously. I get so much more reading done, with incredibly natural intonation across everything from novels to academic works.

More consistent, accurate pronunciation 

Our previous models performed well, but could sometimes make mistakes with pronunciation, pacing, and delivery.

ElevenReader is built for listening to entire articles, documents, and books, often for hours at a time. That means getting every sentence, name, pause, and transition right matters.

With Eleven v4, we’ve improved several of the details that become especially important during longer listening sessions:

• More consistent volume across passages
• More accurate pronunciations for difficult words and abbreviations
• Customized controls for Subtle (v2 model) or Balanced and Expressive (v4 model) sound
• Better speaker consistency throughout your content
• More expressive narration that better captures the tone and emotion of what you’re reading

Together, these improvements are another step forward towards making even a 400-page book enjoyable to listen to. You can still add your own Pronunciations directly in the app, which also helps us identify new words and phrases for future improvement.
