# ElevenLabs TTS

[ElevenLabs](https://www.elevenlabs.io) provides highly realistic and expressive text-to-speech voices. Supports multiple languages and voice styles.

<Info>
  Vision Agents requires a [Stream](https://getstream.io/try-for-free/) account
  for real-time transport. Most providers offer free tiers to get started.
</Info>

<Tip>
  ElevenLabs also provides real-time [speech-to-text](/integrations/stt/elevenlabs) via Scribe with built-in turn detection. You can use both in the same agent.
</Tip>
