## Where ElevenLabs fits

Voice infrastructure covers the building blocks underneath voice agents: speech recognition and synthesis models, realtime media transport and open-source agent frameworks. Most buyers meet these vendors through the platform they build on.

## Questions to ask voice infrastructure

1. Which models and languages are available, and how are they priced (per character, minute or hour)?
2. What streaming latency does the vendor document for realtime use?
3. Is the component open source, hosted, or both, and what does self-hosting require?
4. How does it integrate with telephony and with the orchestration layer you use?
5. What usage limits, data-retention terms and model-training policies apply?
