Case Study: Chess.com transforms chess learning with immersive audio from ElevenLabs

Chess.com gives their virtual chess teacher a voice

Chess.com, a platform dedicated to online chess, faced a challenge in making its educational app "Learn Chess with Dr. Wolf" accessible to younger users who struggled with text-based commentary. They needed an audio solution that was both authoritative and warm to enhance the learning experience without detracting from it, leading them to partner with ElevenLabs.

By utilizing a voice from the ElevenLabs library and integrating it via their API, ElevenLabs provided the perfect voice for the virtual chess coach. The solution transformed the app, receiving overwhelmingly positive user feedback for making lessons more immersive and natural. This integration allowed Chess.com to offer a new dimension of personalized, engaging 1:1 chess tutoring to its global audience.
