ElevenLabs, which provides AI text-to-speech voices for customer service and creators, is reportedly being valued at $22B by its backers despite being only four years old.
Google released Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS and Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite TTS, adding prompt-based voice design plus voice replication via an API Voices endpoint. Google requires two recordings from the same speaker—10 to 30 seconds each—plus a separate consent recording, and returns a voice_id kept in the project for one year. Developers can now create and reuse custom synthetic voices self-serve through the Gemini API and AI Studio instead of relying on a fixed set of voices, while existing prompts with stage directions may break due to changed transcript handling.
DemoScreen launched an AI Video Editor that converts uploaded screenshots into demo videos with a script, voiceover, background music, and captions.
It offers five templates and exports videos in 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1 formats.
Users can download an MP4 plus SRT captions, a GIF, and a share link, with a free plan available.
