About
ElevenLabs remains the quality benchmark for synthetic speech, particularly for emotional range and for cloning a specific person’s voice from a short sample. In hiring, the cloning capability is the interesting and dangerous part: a recruiter’s real voice can front thousands of outbound calls, which is powerful and requires explicit consent and disclosure.
