ElevenLabs launches professor access program and recreates Albert Einstein's voice for interactive learning

ElevenLabs is offering professors free access to its Pro tier and the ability to provide time-bound access to students for specific courses and projects. More than 100 educators across institutions including Harvard, NYU, Cornell, and UCL are already using ElevenLabs in teaching, coursework, and research.

ElevenLabs has recreated Albert Einstein's voice using proprietary AI models that capture subtle nuances of human speech, including cadence, weight, and emotion. Einstein's voice is available on the ElevenReader app (for listening to books and essays) and the Einstein AI Agent (for real-time conversation with his ideas), across multiple languages including English, German, French, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish.

The recreated voices enable educators to build interactive, conversational learning experiences: Harvard's Kennedy School uses ElevenLabs for voice-based learning tools where students ask questions during educational videos and receive responses in the instructor's voice; Stanford uses it for conversational AI systems and voice-enabled educational interfaces; University College London has used it since 2023 in peer-reviewed research on synthetic speech and voice identity.
