Set up VO Extension

The VO Extension plugin is automatically installed with articy:draft X. If you want to use the VO Extension, make sure that the plugin is active 1 in the Plugin Manager 2.



MULTI-USER If in a multi-user setting the VO Extension plugin is not shown in your Plugin Manager, please talk to your server administrator, they might have disabled the plugin for all users.

Open the articy.cfg with any text editor. You can find it in %Appdata%\Articy Software\articy\4.x

Open the articy.cfg with any text editor. You can find it in ~/Library/Application Support/articy draft X/Profile/4.x. Alternatively use the File menu and select "Open Profile Folder in Finder", to jump to the profile location immediately.


If 4.2 is you first installation of articy:draft X look for the entry ; -ai.elevenlabs.apikey YOUR_API_KEY. Replace the YOUR_API_KEY part with your ElevenLabs API key and remove the leading semicolon to uncomment the entry.

If you had articy:draft already installed, the cfg file will not be overwritten when updating the application, in this case just add -ai.elevenlabs.apikey and your API key to the file.
In both cases, save the articy.cfg file and restart articy:draft.

If you do not know where to find or how to create an ElevenLabs API key, please check out the official ElevenLabs article. Please note, that you need to grant at least Read access to voices in the API key options, for the VO Extension to work.
