    # ... llm, stt, vad, turn_detection, etc.

    // ... tts, stt, vad, turn_detection, etc.

Custom & community voices unavailable

Custom and community ElevenLabs voices, including voice cloning, are not yet supported in LiveKit Inference. To use these voices, create your own ElevenLabs account and use the ElevenLabs plugin for LiveKit Agents instead.
