How do I create a new ElevenLabs voice in Spoken?

Spoken gives you the tools to generate new ElevenLabs voices without leaving the app. Before you can use this feature, you must link Spoken to your ElevenLabs account using an API key. We have a tutorial for that here.

Once your account is successfully linked to Spoken, you should be able to find the “Design Custom Voice” option under the ElevenLabs heading in Settings > Use Voices From Other Sources.

How to create new ElevenLabs voices in Spoken

  1. Make sure you’ve entered an ElevenLabs API key.

  2. In Spoken, navigate to Settings > Use Voices From Other Sources > Design Custom Voice

On a screenshot of the Other Voices page in Spoken, the “Design Custom Voice” option is outlined in orange.
  1. In the text field, describe the voice you want to create. For example, “warm and calm adult female” or even something like “zany game show host.”
A screenshot shows the Design ElevenLabs Voice text field in Spoken, with the sample prompt “Grizzled old man with a gravelly voice.”
Your text prompt must be between 20-999 characters long.
  1. Tap “Create Voice” at the bottom of the page to lock in your description and advance to the next page.
An orange arrow points to the “Create Voice” button at the footer of the Other Voices page in Spoken.
  1. After a short wait, you will be presented with three sample voices. You can listen to each one by tapping on them. Once you’ve listened to all three, make sure your favorite is highlighted, or tap “Try a Different Prompt” to go back if you don’t like any of them.
Option 3 is selected on the Choose Your Favorite page in Spoken. There is a button with a back arrow that says “Try a Different Prompt.” Below that is a text field labeled “Name your selected voice.”

  1. With your favorite selected (highlighted with blue), enter a name for the voice in the text field near the bottom of the page. If you skip this step, we’ll assign it a name for you.

  2. Tap “Add Voice.” You’ll be taken back to the Other Voices page, where you’ll now see the voice you designed among the rest of the voices in your ElevenLabs library.

Creating a New Voice With Voice Cloning

If you have an active ElevenLabs subscription, you can also clone your own voice from within Spoken. We have a tutorial for that here.
