Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Dependence on Eleven Labs' backend services

   All text-to-speech processing happens through Eleven Labs' servers, which can introduce latency and dependency issues if their service is down or rate-limited.

2. 02

   Costs associated with heavy usage

   Eleven Labs charges based on the amount of text-to-speech generated, which could become expensive for applications with high traffic or frequent use cases.

3. 03

   Vendor lock-in due to proprietary voice models

   Switching from Eleven Labs would require retraining or acquiring new voice models, leading to significant additional costs and effort.
