Answers to common questions
Expressive Mode is a new experience in ElevenLabs Agents that combines our V3 Conversational Text-to-Speech (TTS) model, Scribe v2 Realtime transcription, and improved turn‑taking. Expressive Mode gives agents a wider range of emotion, makes them tone‑aware, and more human‑sounding.
It’s available first, and best experienced, inside ElevenLabs Agents: our vertically integrated conversational agents platform.
Previously, emotion came mainly from voice choice and system prompts. Expressive Mode adds tone cue cards and emotion‑aware delivery, plus better turn‑taking, so agents respond with the right tone at the right moment.
Expressive Mode scales nuanced delivery across 70+ languages, expanding from 32 and significantly improving languages like Hindi, Japanese, Spanish, and Arabic.
Expressive Mode is built on ultra‑low latency components like Scribe v2 Realtime, so you get more natural timing without sacrificing real‑time responsiveness.
Teams use Expressive Mode to increase CSAT and NPS, improve retention and LTV, and lift collection or qualification rates by making every interaction feel more human and trustworthy.
Yes. You can connect agents directly to your CRM, support desk, calendar, payment system, or telephony provider. Integrations with platforms like Salesforce, Zendesk, Stripe, Twilio and similar tools work out of the box with minimal setup so agents can start reading and writing data (tickets, contacts, payments, bookings, call logs) in a few minutes rather than requiring a custom build.
Sign up for ElevenLabs Agents, enable V3 Conversational in your agent configuration, and follow our setup guide with recommended voices and prompts.
