Write what you hear, where it happens and how long it lasts, and Typeshoot makes it with ElevenLabs Sound Effects. Each sound below took one request and cost 1 to 4 credits.

How it works

  1. Describe one sound: what, where, close or far, how long.
  2. Ask for a loop if it’s ambience.
  3. Listen and ask for another take or a tweak.
  4. Mix it onto your clip under the voice or music.
