Instructions

Step 1: Text-to-Speech with the SDK

TypeScript (recommended):

import { ElevenLabsClient } from "@elevenlabs/elevenlabs-js";
import { createWriteStream } from "fs";
import { Readable } from "stream";
import { pipeline } from "stream/promises";

const client = new ElevenLabsClient();

async function generateSpeech() {
  // Use a pre-made voice — "Rachel" is a default voice available on all accounts
  // Find voice IDs via: GET /v1/voices
  const audio = await client.textToSpeech.convert("21m00Tcm4TlvDq8ikWAM", {
    text: "Hello! This is your first ElevenLabs text-to-speech generation.",
    model_id: "eleven_multilingual_v2",  // Best quality, 29 languages
    voice_settings: {
      stability: 0.5,           // 0-1: lower = more expressive
      : ,   
      : ,               
      : ,               
    },
  });

  
   (
    .(audio  ),
    ()
  );

  .();
}

().(.);
