ElevenLabs Speech Engine Add a real-time voice interface to a custom agent. ElevenLabs handles microphone audio, speech-to-text, turn-taking, text-to-speech, and browser playback; your server exposes a Speech Engine WebSocket endpoint and streams response text back. Setup: See Installation Guide . For JavaScript, use @elevenlabs/* packages only. For deeper SDK details, read JavaScript SDK Reference or Python SDK Reference . When to Use Use Speech Engine when the user wants to: Add voice to an existing chat app or custom server pipeline Add voice to OpenClaw, Hermes, or a similar agent runtime while keeping agent logic on the developer-owned server Build a developer-hosted WebSocket server for ElevenLabs voice conversations Stream response text back as spoken audio after your server validates user intent Handle user interruptions while a response is still streaming Build a browser client with @elevenlabs/react or @elevenlabs/client using a server-issued conversation token Use the agents skill instead when the user is creating or configuring a hosted ElevenLabs Conversational AI agent with platform-managed prompts, tools, workflows, phone numbers, or widgets.
