Online Blockchain PLC on Tuesday said it was linking up with ElevenLabs to further develop the artificial intelligence capabilities of its products. The London-based blockchain research and development company said Synthia, the AI assistant it is developing, is utilising ElevenLabs’ AI-powered text-to-speech models to generate high quality, human-sounding dialogue.

This would include installing its new multilingual voice generation model, which is capable of accurately producing AI audio in nearly 30 languages. This has the potential to make Synthia accessible to many more millions of users, the company said.
