How do I generate speech with ElevenLabs?

Short answer: You can text to speech in ElevenLabs by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the ElevenLabs Text to Speech action to a workflow, map its 6 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 Text to Speech.

What does the Text to Speech action do in ElevenLabs?

Generates high-quality audio from text using ElevenLabs voices (stock or cloned). The premium-quality TTS option vs faster/cheaper alternatives — for broadcast-quality narration, audiobook production, or branded voice content.

What inputs does Text to Speech require?

Required: Voice ID, Text. 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 Text to Speech support batch operations?

Run Text to Speech 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.
