Direct the read.

ElevenLabs v3 follows short cues in square brackets. Put one where the delivery should change. They work best when they suit the voice: a serious narrator may not take a playful cue.

Emotion
Start a line with [sad], [angry], [happily] or [curious] to set how it feels.
Delivery
[whispers] drops the voice for a secret, [shouts] raises it for the big reveal.
Reactions
[laughs], [sighs] and [clears throat] add the small sounds people make between words.

How it works.

01
Paste your script
A one-line ad read or a few paragraphs of narration. Add tags like [whispers] where the delivery should change.
02
Choose a voice
Pick one that fits the job: a British narrator, an expressive American, a gravelly character.
03
Listen and download
Play it back, try another voice if it isn't right, and download the audio.

What is an AI voice generator?

A tool that turns written text into speech. You paste a script, choose a voice, and Merlio's voice model, ElevenLabs v3, reads it out as audio you can download.

Which languages does it speak?

ElevenLabs v3 supports more than 70 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and Mandarin Chinese.

What are audio tags?

Cues in square brackets that tell the voice how to read what follows: emotions like [sad] or [happily], delivery like [whispers] or [shouts], and reactions like [laughs] or [sighs]. How well a tag lands depends on the voice, so match the cue to the character.

How do I add pauses?

With punctuation and tags. An ellipsis (...) adds a pause and some weight. ElevenLabs v3 doesn't support SSML break tags, so punctuation and audio tags are how you shape the pacing.

Which voices can I use?

Named ElevenLabs voices with different accents and tones, such as Rachel, Aria, Roger, Sarah, Bradford and Clyde. The player at the top of this page has Aria, Bradford and Clyde, one per use case.

Can I use the voiceovers commercially?

Yes. Every paid plan includes a commercial license, so you can use the audio in videos, ads, podcasts and courses.

Is it free?

Voice runs on credits, like the other media studios, so it needs a paid plan. Every paid plan includes it. The free plan covers chat and text-to-image.
