Audio

Eleven v4 is a text-to-speech model from ElevenLabs and the most expressive model in its line-up. It supports more than 90 languages and accepts up to 10,000 characters in a single request.

Inline audio tags written into the text steer emotion and delivery mid-sentence, which suits audiobooks, characters and ads where the reading has to sound acted rather than read. Hormouz serves Eleven v4 on two endpoints: the OpenAI-compatible /v1/audio/speech, which returns the audio in the same response, and /v1/predictions for background jobs. Set voice to one of the model's own voices, for example "george", and response_format to mp3 or pcm.

Billing is per character of input text; the current rate is in the price table on this page, and you pay only for what you use. Hormouz provides stable access to it from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.
