# ElevenLabs

> Use ElevenLabs' text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and voice cloning APIs through Portkey.

ElevenLabs provides industry-leading text-to-speech, speech-to-text, dubbing, and voice cloning capabilities. Portkey allows you to use ElevenLabs' APIs with full observability and reliability features.

<Note>
  ElevenLabs currently uses a custom host setup. SDK support is available through the custom host pattern.

## Quick Start

### Text to Speech

Generate speech from text using the ElevenLabs TTS API:

```bash cURL theme={"system"}
curl -X POST https://api.portkey.ai/v1/audio/speech \
  -H "xi-api-key: $ELEVENLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-portkey-custom-host: https://api.elevenlabs.io" \
  -H "x-portkey-provider: openai" \
  -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model_id": "eleven_multilingual_v2",
    "text": "Hello! Welcome to Portkey.",
    "voice_settings": {
      "stability": 0.5,
      "similarity_boost": 0.75
    }
  }' \
  --output speech.mp3
```

      provider="openai",
      custom_host="https://api.elevenlabs.io",
      Authorization="Bearer ELEVENLABS_API_KEY"
  )
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
  import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',
      provider: 'openai',
      customHost: 'https://api.elevenlabs.io',
