The idea and mission of 11labs: https://www.youtube.com/clip/Ugkxtj3x9C84gjFkSGJdYgC4-MA9UzsU2pop matured into our idea for automating dubbing which stuck maybe that's due to us both growing up knowing the real pain of watching foreign movies with terrible voice overs that's the story of how 11 Labs got started and we're now on a mission to make all spoken content available in any language and voice
| Quiz Question | Answer with Timestamp |
|---|---|
| According to the source, how much audio content have ElevenLabs users generated? | ElevenLabs users have generated a thousand years of audio content. (00:01:27,640 - 00:01:30,710) |
| What was one of the initial major problems ElevenLabs aimed to solve with audio AI? | One initial major problem was the lack of voice stability over time in synthesized voices. (00:09:33,959 - 00:09:35,150) |
