Workflow Name

Text-to-Speech Generation (Based on Elevenlabs API)

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow, built on the n8n automation platform, provides an API interface that converts input text into natural and fluent speech. The core highlight is the integration of Elevenlabs’ advanced text-to-speech service, supporting customizable voice ID selection and instant return of audio binary data. This significantly enhances the automation and efficiency of text-to-speech conversion.

Core Problems Addressed

Traditional text-to-speech operations often require manual invocation of third-party services or complex coding. This workflow simplifies the calling process by automatically receiving text and voice parameters via a webhook interface, completing speech generation and returning results automatically. It eliminates cumbersome operations and repetitive tasks, effectively saving time and labor costs in video production, content dubbing, and related processes.

Application Scenarios

  • Automated voiceover generation in video production
  • Rapid speech synthesis for e-learning and audiobooks
  • Dynamic voice content generation for customer service bots or voice assistants
  • Any automated process requiring conversion of text content to speech

Main Process Steps

  1. External systems send a POST request to the workflow’s webhook, including parameters voice_id (selected voice identifier) and text (text to be converted).
  2. The workflow validates parameter completeness through a conditional check node to ensure input validity.
  3. An HTTP request node calls Elevenlabs’ text-to-speech API, passing the text and voice ID to the Elevenlabs service.
  4. The workflow receives the audio data returned by Elevenlabs and returns the audio in binary form to the requester via a response node.
  5. If input parameters are incorrect, the workflow returns an error message through an error response node.
