How to turn developer docs into audio

Give your documentation a “listen” option in a few minutes with Noah — my voice clone, tuned for technical content. Do one page by hand, or wire the API to narrate the whole site.

Step 1 — Add the Noah voice

Open Noah on ElevenLabs and click Use voice. It is now available in your studio and API.

Step 2 — Paste a doc, or connect the API

For a single page, paste the text into the studio and pick Noah. To automate it, call the text-to-speech API:

curl -X POST \
  https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/text-to-speech/H57KGMlTcawqdqmOlFkV \
  -H "xi-api-key: $ELEVENLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "Your documentation text here.",
       "model_id": "eleven_multilingual_v2"}' \
  --output page-audio.mp3

Step 3 — Generate and publish

Export the MP3 and attach it to the page, or run the call for every doc in your build so each page ships with a listen version. Because Noah reads technical terms correctly, you can point it at real API references without cleanup.
