Unable to call TTS via elevenlabs in dev tools but works elsewhere

Configuration
1

I have just set up ElevenLabs integration and it all works fine when I play tts from the media player:

However, when I try to create a service call in dev tools it does not work (using the same yaml from integration docs)

yaml:

action: tts.speak
target:
  entity_id: tts.elevenlabs
data:
  media_player_entity_id: media_player.main_bedroom_speaker
  message: Hello, can you hear me now?

error logs:

How do I resolve this please?

I had the same issue, and was about to ask you if you find a solution… Then I decided to test adding the voice as option as follow and it works:

action: tts.speak
target:
  entity_id: tts.elevenlabs
data:
  media_player_entity_id: media_player.media_playerX
  message: "Test 1 2 3"
  options:
    voice: Alice

Noticed that you need to the voice name start with capital letter as in the available voices in ElevenLabs

Seems that I missed a lot using only Google TTS. ElevenLabs seems to be much more nature and can read different language, without even specify that language
