ElevenLabs Turbo v2.5
ElevenLabs Turbo v2.5 is a previous hosted TTS snapshot, not the live models default. The same page still lists leftover Turbo v2.5 and marks it deprecated.
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: older copy treated Turbo v2.5 as the current voice default. Confirm 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: Confirm 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 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.
