XS2Content + ElevenLabs: compliant & EU-Hosted
We’ve partnered with ElevenLabs to bring GDPR-ready, EU-hosted voice cloning to the XS2Content (XS2C) platform. You can now build automated content pipelines that turn existing content into audio—using compliant, consented voice clones hosted in Europe. We’re among the first partners to enable this setup. Pilots are open—and when they’re successful, we connect you directly with ElevenLabs for compliant, production-ready contracts.
Why this matters
For large communications teams, audio extends reach: think micropodcasts, voiceovers for avatar videos, and accessible audio for articles and announcements. Organizations with strict data residency requirements can now move forward confidently: EU hosting with ElevenLabs, fully orchestrated via XS2C.
What’s new
- EU data residency with ElevenLabs: run voice cloning and TTS in a European hosting region.
- Compliant voice cloning: clone only with documented rights and explicit consent; manage usage and proofs via XS2C.
- End-to-end automation: orchestrate TTS as a step in your Automated AI Pipelines, alongside transcription, translation, formatting, distribution, and automation-analytics (saved cost, saved time, and scale-factor).
How it works in XS2C
- Connect ElevenLabs (EU) as a service in your XS2C workspace.
- Define your pipeline: e.g., Article → Summarize → Script → ElevenLabs (EU) → Audio → Publish.
- Control, audit & measure: XS2C tracks inputs/outputs, retains logs for audits, and provides automation-analytics to quantify saved cost, saved time, and your scale-factor.
- Deploy at scale: trigger pipelines on schedules or events (new article → auto-generate micropodcast in minutes).
Use cases we see working well
- Micropodcasts from news and blog content
- Avatar videos with natural voiceovers
- Accessible audio for policy pages and announcements
- Localized voice variants that preserve brand tone
Compliance & consent at a glance
- Lawful basis & consent: voice cloning only with explicit, provable permission from the rightsholder.
- Data minimization: feed only what’s needed to produce the asset.
- EU hosting: voice models and processing run in a European region via ElevenLabs.
- Roles & agreements: your organization is the controller; XS2Content acts as a processor; ElevenLabs is a sub-processor. We provide DPA language and audit logs to support governance.
- Retention controls: set lifetimes for inputs/outputs; export or delete on request.
Already using ElevenLabs through XS2C? The difference now is EU data residency and a strengthened compliance posture—without changing your day-to-day pipeline design.
Pilot → Production
We’re opening limited pilots with communications teams to validate:
- Production readiness (latency, quality, throughput)
- Compliance fit (consent flows, logging, retention)
- Editorial outcomes (brand tone, clarity, accessibility)
- Automation-analytics (saved cost, saved time, scale-factor)
When a pilot is successful, we have direct lines to ElevenLabs to connect you for direct, compliant contracts—so you can move your EU-hosted voices into production pipelines immediately.
Frequently asked
Do we need written consent to clone a voice?
Yes—only proceed with documented rights and explicit consent. XS2C helps you attach proof to the pipeline.

Can we migrate an existing US-hosted setup?
Yes. We’ll re-point your pipeline to the EU region and re-register approved voices with the required consent artifacts.
