How it works
ElevenLabs provides AI tools for speech and audio. Connect your own ElevenLabs account to turn written content into speech or recordings into text. App visitors don’t need their own ElevenLabs accounts; your app uses the key you connect. By connecting ElevenLabs, you can:- Turn text into speech using an available voice
- Play generated speech in your app
- Transcribe uploaded audio or an accessible audio-file link
- Let users choose from voices available to your account
- Find the available speech and transcription models for your account
How to integrate ElevenLabs into your app
1
Connect to ElevenLabs
Ask Zite to connect your app to ElevenLabs. Alternatively, select + in the chat box, then Integrations → ElevenLabs.Create a key in ElevenLabs and enter it in API Key. If you’ve connected before, choose a saved account or Connect new account.
2
Describe your use case
Tell Zite what people will provide and how they should use the result. For example, “Let staff enter a training script, choose an available voice, and play the narration.”Ask Zite to check the voices available to your account before selecting one, and say whether the audio should be saved for later.
3
Test and publish
Start with a short script or recording and check the playback or transcript. Test the selected voice before trying longer content.Select Publish in the upper-right corner when the feature works as expected.
Common use cases
With an ElevenLabs connection, you can create apps like:- Training Narrators: Turn written training material into spoken instructions
- Audio Briefings: Read a prepared team update aloud
- Voice Note Tools: Turn uploaded recordings into text for review
- Narration Reviewers: Compare available voices before saving a clip
Important notes
- Your own key: ElevenLabs requires your own key; there is no Use Zite’s Account option.
- Usage limits: All visitors’ requests count toward your ElevenLabs account’s allowance. Check its quota if generation stops working.
- Voice access: Some voices require a paid ElevenLabs plan. Ask Zite to choose another voice available to your account if one is unavailable.
- Playing and saving: Playing a generated clip doesn’t automatically save it for later. Ask Zite to add saving or downloads if you need them.
- Connection errors: Check that your key is valid and that the selected voice and model are available to its account. Reconnecting the same key won’t resolve an exhausted quota.
