# Voice cloning

Mistral released Voxtral 3, which puts speech recognition, reasoning, tool calling and speech synthesis into a single real-time streaming pipeline, alongside a voice agent SDK. Previously, making an agent listen accurately, reason, speak naturally and act across systems in multiple steps remained difficult. Its Small transcription model beats Whisper, Scribe v2 and Gemini 3.5 Transcribe on multilingual transcription and diarization in English, French and Spanish, and realtime transcription runs below 500 ms latency.

For the first time, a member of the UK Parliament addressed a house using an AI-reconstructed voice. Baroness Campbell had relied on an assistant to read her speeches since 2012, as her speaking ability declined with spinal muscular atrophy. She found ElevenLabs' voice cloning herself, uploaded old recordings to rebuild the tone, rhythm and pitch of her voice, then used text-to-speech to generate the speech, played through an assistive device during the Health Bill's Second Reading.
