The ElevenLabs provider includes is a single service:

Text to speech​

Text to speech converts text to speech using a choice of voices. Provide a string of text and a voice to generate an mp3 audio file. The audio file can be used as a soundtrack for a video or as a standalone asset.

Using the Create API the following payload can be used to generate an audio file:

{
    "provider": "elevenlabs",
    "options": {
        "type": "text-to-speech",
        "text": "The future of media production is here with the help of the Shotstack Create API",
        "voice": "Adam"
    }
}

This will generate an mp3 audio file using the Adam voice and the text provided. For the full list of voices refer to the ElevenLabs options in the API reference documentation.
