ElevenLabs Text-to-Speech

Generate high-quality audio from text using the ElevenLabs API.

Prerequisites

  1. ElevenLabs API Key: Must be set as environment variable ELEVENAPIKEY

- The API key should already be configured in your environment - If not set, get your API key from: https://elevenlabs.io/app/settings/api-keys

  1. Python requests library: Install if needed with pip install requests --break-system-packages

Quick Start

Use the provided script to generate audio with your default voice:

python scripts/generate_audio.py "Your text here" output.mp3

The script is pre-configured to use your preferred voice (ID: dq5fzy66iCKSIQWm5YMU).

Using a Different Voice

If you need to use a different voice, specify it with the --voice parameter:

python scripts/generate_audio.py "Hello world" output.mp3 --voice "voice_id_here"

Common Workflows

Voiceover for Videos

  1. Prepare your script text
  2. Choose appropriate voice for your content
  3. Generate the audio file
  4. Use the audio in your video editing software

Example:

# Read script from file and generate audio
python scripts/generate_audio.py "$(cat video_script.txt)" voiceover.mp3

Multiple Segments

For longer content or different scenes, generate separate audio files:

# Intro
python scripts/generate_audio.py "Welcome to our channel" intro.mp3

# Main content
python scripts/generate_audio.py "$(cat main_script.txt)" main.mp3

# Outro
python scripts/generate_audio.py "Thanks for watching" outro.mp3

From Markdown or Text Files

Convert documents to audio:

# Extract text from markdown (remove formatting)
python scripts/generate_audio.py "$(cat article.md | sed 's/#//g')" article.mp3

Advanced Usage

Custom Voice ID

If you have access to custom voices or want to use a specific voice ID:

python scripts/generate_audio.py "Text" output.mp3 --voice "your_voice_id_here"

Providing API Key Directly

Instead of setting environment variable:

python scripts/generate_audio.py "Text" output.mp3 --api-key "your_api_key"

Script Parameters

The generate_audio.py script accepts:

  • text (required): The text to convert to speech
  • output (required): Output file path (e.g., output.mp3)
  • --voice (optional): Custom voice ID (default: dq5fzy66iCKSIQWm5YMU)
  • --api-key (optional): API key (overrides ELEVENAPIKEY env var)

Best Practices

  1. Text Length: Keep individual requests under 2,500 characters for best results
  2. Character Limits: Monitor your monthly character quota to avoid interruptions
  3. File Naming: Use descriptive names (e.g., introv2.mp3, scene1narration.mp3)
  4. Testing: Generate a short sample first to verify quality before processing long texts
  5. Punctuation: Use proper punctuation to improve natural speech rhythm and pauses

Troubleshooting

API Key Error: Ensure ELEVENAPIKEY is set correctly:

echo $ELEVEN_API_KEY  # Should display your key

Module Not Found: Install requests:

pip install requests --break-system-packages

Rate Limiting: Free tier has usage limits. Space out requests or upgrade plan.

Poor Audio Quality: Try different voices or adjust the text (add punctuation, break into shorter sentences).
