How do I transcribe audio with ElevenLabs?

Short answer: You can speech to text in ElevenLabs by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the ElevenLabs Speech to Text action to a workflow, map its 5 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Speech to Text.

What does the Speech to Text action do in ElevenLabs?

Transcribes audio using ElevenLabs' speech recognition. While ElevenLabs is better known for TTS, their STT is competitive with Deepgram/AssemblyAI for specific use cases. Useful for unified ElevenLabs-only voice-agent workflows.

What inputs does Speech to Text require?

Required: Audio File URL. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if ElevenLabs returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message ElevenLabs returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Speech to Text support batch operations?

Run Speech to Text inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within ElevenLabs's rate limits.
