## Positioning

ElevenLabs Multilingual v2 is a text-to-speech model optimized for high-fidelity audio generation across 29 languages. Developers building narration, voiceover, or translation pipelines should use it when consistent, expressive delivery is required.

## About

This model converts text input into audio output with support for expressive voice profiles and brand-safe delivery. It operates in a balanced cost tier with medium generation speed and is designed specifically for speech synthesis.

On Kyma, it runs through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint using a single API key. Prompt caching bills repeated prompt prefixes at 10% of the input rate. Requests automatically failover to healthy serving paths if degradation occurs, and exact billing details are returned in the usage.cost field.

The model does not support reasoning, vision, or structured outputs. It accepts text input only, has a 5,000-token context window, and is strictly an audio generation endpoint. New accounts receive a $0.50 signup credit to test the pipeline.

## Use cases

- **Multilingual Voiceover Generation** — Produce localized audio tracks for videos and presentations across 29 supported languages.
- **Brand Narrative Synthesis** — Maintain consistent, brand-safe vocal delivery across marketing and onboarding content.
- **Long-Form Storytelling Audio** — Render expressive narration for audiobooks, podcasts, or interactive media.
- **Text Translation to Speech** — Convert written translations into natural-sounding audio for accessibility or localization workflows.

## Not ideal for

Do not use this model for tasks requiring text reasoning, structured JSON output, or ultra-low latency streaming, as it only generates audio and operates at a medium speed tier.

## Pick something else when

- You need faster audio generation for real-time applications → `eleven-turbo-v2-5`, `minimax-speech-turbo`
- You require ultra-low latency at a lower cost tier → `eleven-flash-v2-5`
- You need to generate background music or sound effects instead of speech → `elevenlabs-music`, `elevenlabs-sfx`
- You need voice cloning or custom voice design capabilities → `minimax-voice-clone`, `minimax-voice-design`
