Still seems like Elevenlabs is crushing them on realtime audio, or does this change things?

I'm also curious about this for longform content. Will this be competitive for something like creating an audiobook?

For $0.015 a minute it has to be.

The books I am listening to now wouldn't even be $10. Any future price drops then will really make this a no-brainer.

The Elevenlabs pricing to me makes it completely useless for audiobooks that I just want to listen to for my personal enjoyment.

Do you have any affiliation with Elevenlabs?

I do not have any affiliation with Elevenlabs or OpenAI except as a user of their APIs. I'd actually prefer it if OpenAI had a better realtime product than Elevenlabs because it'd be more convenient.

FWIW I have no affiliation with any of these companies but I have a book coming out soon and have been researching AI audiobook tools and Elevenlabs seems to be far and away the consensus for that at least
