High-quality AI voices; costs rise quickly with usage.
AI voice platform: turn text into natural speech, clone voices, and dub videos into many languages, with Vietnamese support.
Overview
ElevenLabs is a platform specializing in AI-generated audio and voice. Its best-known feature is highly natural text-to-speech, with a library of thousands of ready-made voices, the ability to design new voices from a description, and cloning of your own voice.
Beyond reading text, ElevenLabs offers automatic dubbing to convert videos into other languages, speech-to-text (Scribe), sound effects, music and voice conversational agents. The official documentation lists Vietnamese among the newer voice models and in Dubbing v2.
For small businesses, ElevenLabs helps produce voice-overs for ad videos, lessons, product guides or voice messages without hiring a studio, and opens the way to taking content to overseas markets.

Real-world example
A small English center in Can Tho wants to make a series of short videos introducing its courses, but the teachers have no time to record. The marketing team writes the Vietnamese scripts, uses ElevenLabs to pick a voice that suits young learners, generates an audio file for each video and adds it in CapCut. For pronunciation lessons, they also use an English voice so learners can hear a model. All narration is done in the office and is easy to edit whenever the start dates change.
Tips & notes
Pick the right model for Vietnamese
Multilingual v2 does not include Vietnamese; use the newer models that list Vietnamese.
Write the script for the ear
Short sentences, clear punctuation, and numbers and abbreviations written the way they are read so the AI pronounces them correctly.
Clone a voice only with consent
Use your own voice or that of someone who has explicitly given permission, to avoid legal and reputational risk.
Check dubbed versions carefully
Dubbing v2 is still in alpha, so have someone who knows the target language listen before publishing.
