# Create speech with timestamps

> Generates speech with character-level alignment.

`elevenLabs.createSpeechWithTimestamps` accepts the same inputs and defaults as `createSpeech`. It returns Base64 audio plus raw and normalized character alignment instead of a `File`.

```ts automations/create-aligned-speech.automation.ts theme={null}
import { automation, markSignificant, onInvocation } from "automate.ax"
import { elevenLabs } from "automate.ax/elevenlabs"

export default automation("Create aligned speech", () => {
  onInvocation()
  markSignificant(
    elevenLabs.createSpeechWithTimestamps({
      text: "Hello.",
      voiceId: "voice-id",
    }),
  )
})
```
