Conversational Ai Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Building multilingual voice agents has expanded my global reach and supports diverse audiences
The user interface is pretty useful. It is amazing for technical people but also for non-technical users. I am a technical person, so I have the possibility to program using my JavaScript and Python knowledge. Furthermore, the setup in terms of agent by defining the knowledge base, by defining and uploading the different documents in terms of PDF files and Markdown files, is pretty useful. The overall workflow architecture is easy to use as well, which is why I love working with it. In terms of content creation, ElevenLabs is pretty useful because it works with 42 languages, if I am not mistaken. I have tried some niche languages such as Bulgarian, Romanian, and Serbian, and the text-to-speech works amazingly because there are different accents. As a fluent Bulgarian, I can judge it quite well. ElevenLabs' linguistics analysis is pretty useful when it comes to reaching a diverse audience. Different architectures and analysis features are available for use, and whenever I have the possibility to analyze the language, everything is there in terms of accuracy and when the code dropped. I would say it is pretty useful. The multiple language and accent features of ElevenLabs have improved my global audience a lot. I am now able to work with different countries, and every time when they come with a specific language or accent, ElevenLabs provides it. In comparison to Cognigy, ElevenLabs' text-to-speech features are way better and way more reliable toward the client. In case there are some hallucinations, I can restrict the LLM so it speaks confidently and accurately to the client, ensuring their use cases can be solved successfully.

Support issues overshadow solid features in daily operations
The support is inadequate. We are dealing with them on our development talk today. There's a lot of finger-pointing going on in terms of whose problem it is. Moving our stuff up to the Google Cloud and getting it to work just as well as it does on people's development machines is problematic. Their support for that, even though we paid for it, isn't really very helpful. That's prevalent in the computer business. You need to have your own experts, otherwise you're really in trouble. The product is an eight out of 10. The support is at best a five. We have to write certain features ourselves because their offerings aren't very powerful. When I don't have a problem, it works pretty well, better than anybody else. But when I do have a problem, I'm severely impacted. It takes a lot of time and money to go back and fix it. What has gotten better with Google Cloud Text-to-Speech is their stuff sounds so natural, it really brings a smile to my face. I wish their support would be better.
