| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
text | string | Optional | The text to convert to speech · Min length: 1 |
speed | number | Optional | Speech speed (0.7-1.2). Values below 1.0 slow down the speech, above 1.0 speed it up. Extreme values may affect quality. · Min: 0.7 · Max: 1.2 · Default: 1 |

language_code | string | Optional | Language code (ISO 639-1) used to enforce a language for the model. · Options: , en, ja, zh, de, hi, fr, ko, pt, it, es, id, nl, tr, fil, pl, sv, bg, ro, ar, cs, el, fi, hr, ms, sk, da, ta, uk, ru, hu, no, vi enjazhdehifrkoptitesidnltrfilplsvbgroarcselfihrmsskdataukruhunovi |
Output Schema
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
id | string | Unique identifier for the generation task |
status | string | Task status: pending, running, completed, failed, timeout |
model | string | Model used for the generation |
outputs | array | Array of output items |
outputs[].url | string | URL of the generated artifact |
outputs[].content_type | string | MIME type (e.g. image/png, video/mp4) |

Async Workflow
This model uses asynchronous execution. Submit a request and poll for the result.
- Submit — POST to /v1/run, receive an
id - Poll — GET /v1/run/{id} until status is
completed,failed, ortimeout - Retrieve — Read
outputsfrom the completed response

Turbo V2.5
elevenlabs/turbo-v2.5 generates natural speech with a speed-oriented architecture intended for interactive products, agents, games, and other experiences where response latency matters. Turbo V2.5 balances fast synthesis with multilingual delivery and a recognizable selected voice, allowing spoken responses to arrive promptly without falling back to flat system speech. This combination makes the model a practical choice when the creative outcome depends on those qualities rather than on a generic media conversion.
For production work, It is strongest for short and medium utterances in conversational flows, where repeated low-latency calls matter more than the maximal long-form expressiveness of a narration-focused model. The result is most reliable when the source material and creative brief clearly describe the intended subject, progression, visual or sonic character, and the qualities that must remain unchanged.
Highlights
Low-latency synthesis supports responsive agents and interactive experiences.
Natural voice rendering avoids the mechanical cadence of basic real-time speech.
Multilingual speech covers conversational products serving different languages.
Voice identity preservation keeps an application's selected speaker recognizable.

When to Use
| ✅ Good fit | ❌ Consider alternatives |
|---|---|
| The model's named workflow matches the source material and intended output | A different input modality or model route is required |
| A managed asynchronous result is suitable for the production pipeline | A synchronous, interactive editor is essential |
| The documented controls cover the required duration, framing, or format | The project needs controls outside this endpoint's schema |
| Creative iteration benefits from a repeatable request structure | Exact deterministic pixels, frames, geometry, or samples are mandatory |
| A finished downloadable media asset is the desired deliverable | Editable source layers or a native project file are required |
Prompt Guide
For generation, state the intended result first, then add the subject or source treatment, progression, style, and delivery constraints. Keep one creative variable per phrase, use the documented field names for controls, and change one setting at a time when comparing results.
