Transitioning from WellSaid Labs to ElevenLabs: Voice Comparisons and Tips

Hey everyone,

As you might have seen in Vyond's official announcement, WellSaid Labs text-to-speech voices are officially being retired on July 8, 2026.

If you use a lot of WellSaid TTS and have videos you’re still working on, we only have a few more weeks to map out our replacements. The good news is that Vyond’s new ElevenLabs voices bring over 150+ incredibly expressive new voices to the platform.

To make the transition a little easier for everyone, I put together a side by side video comparison of some of the most popular WellSaid voices next to their closest ElevenLabs equivalents so you can hear how they stack up.

💡 A Few Quick Tips for the Switch:

1. Use the Bulk Swap Feature: Vyond recently added a bulk voice-swapping tool in the studio, which is going to be a lifesaver for replacing these across entire projects with minimal timing headaches.

2. Check the Official Article: For the full technical breakdown and specific details on how this affects your older videos, check out the official Vyond Help Center Article.
