Hi, this is Sonetho. ⚡

Quick recap of the January 13 ElevenLabs webinar. ElevenLabs is no longer just "an AI voice service" — they're positioning as an all-in-one AI creative platform.

From Studio 3.0 (with top-tier video models like Sora 2 and Veo 3) to Scribe v2 (more accurate than the human ear) — deep-dive on everything they announced.


Sonetho

1. Studio 3.0 — All-in-One Creation

Headline drop: Studio 3.0. Core idea: workflow consolidation.

🎥 Studio 3.0's 3 big innovations

  • Top-tier video models integrated: Google Veo 3, OpenAI Sora 2, Kling, Ideogram — the best video/image generators are now inside ElevenLabs Studio. No separate subscriptions needed.
  • One-stop timeline: enter text → [TTS + SFX + BGM + captions + video] all auto-generate on one timeline.
  • Inline editing: don't like one section? Drag and edit just that part, no full re-generation.

This isn't an incremental feature — it's the output of strategic partnerships with Disney, NVIDIA, and Adobe.

2. Scribe v2 — #1 STT Accuracy Globally

Scribe v2 stomps the existing STT field. The announced WER (Word Error Rate) data:

Model WER Note
ElevenLabs Scribe v22.2%#1 globally
GPT-4o Transcribe2.7%-
Gemini 1.5 Pro3.0%-
Deepgram Nova 36.9%-

* Lower = better (averaged across English/French/Spanish)

Scribe v2 killer features:

  • Audio Event Tagging: tag laughter, applause, footsteps as text events
  • Smart Diarization: identifies speakers even on overlapping speech
  • Word-level Timestamps: per-word timing for perfect caption sync

3. Enterprise security & scaling

🔒 Security & Compliance

  • SOC 2 / ISO 27001 — top-tier infosec certs
  • Zero Retention — optional, no data persists server-side
  • GDPR-compliant — full EU data protection alignment

🤝 Collaboration

  • Project sharing + approval workflows across teams
  • Granular access control for internal teams and agencies

4. [Q&A] Live questions from the session

Q. When does V3 ship?
A. Final stages. Late January, at latest mid-February.

Q. Can we control breath / pitch after generation?
A. Yes — heavily requested. Fine-tune parameters for post-generation tweaking are in research, update coming.

Q. Localized UI roadmap?
A. Yes — multi-language UI landing this year. No more juggling translators.


Bottom line: imagination → reality, faster
