ElevenLabs Turbo v2.5

ElevenLabs Turbo v2.5 is a previous hosted TTS snapshot, not the live models default. Rechecked 2026-08-17: elevenlabs.io/docs/overview/models now leads with Eleven v3 and Flash v2.5. The same page still lists leftover Turbo v2.5 and marks it deprecated. Drop leftover most realistic / 1-minute clone / 29 languages as a 2026 default / Creator $22 with a 10k-500k character table.

Compare tts-1 if you wanted OpenAI's still-listed $15 / 1M-character leftover, and tts-1-hd if you wanted the higher-priced twin rather than this deprecated ElevenLabs SKU.

Key Features

• Previous Turbo SKU: Leftover copy treated Turbo v2.5 as the current voice default. Recheck the models page before you hard-code it.
• Not the 2026 voice lead: Live models lead with Eleven v3 and Flash v2.5. Turbo v2.5 is deprecated on that page.
• No invented clone/language crown: Do not keep "most realistic / 1-minute clone / 29 languages as 2026 default" unless you re-verify a first-party card.
• Seat table is live, character table is not: Recheck elevenlabs.io/pricing for current seats. Do not paste leftover 10k / 30k / 100k / 500k character quotas.

Use Cases

• People with a Turbo v2.5 bookmark who need the catalog corrected.
• People comparing leftover Turbo vs live v3 / Flash v2.5.
• People who were about to paste Creator $22 and a 2024 character table into a 2026 deck.

Limitation: We did not synthesize a sample or time first-audio latency.

Pricing

2. Recheck Eleven v3 or Flash v2.5 if you wanted the live hosted path.
