Bark – Text-prompted generative audio model
Hey, one of the Suno founders/creators of Bark here. Thanks for all the comments, we love seeing how we can improve things in the future. At Suno we work on audio foundation models, creating speech, music, sounds effects etc….Text to speech was a natural playground for us to share with the community and get some feedback. Given that this model is a full GPT model, the text input is merely a guidance and the model can technically create any audio from scratch even without input text, aka hallucinations or audio continuation.When used as a TTS model, it’s very different from the awesome high quality TTS models already available. It produces a wider range of audio – that could be a high quality studio recording of an actor or the same text leading to two people shouting in an argument at a noisy bar. Excited to see what the community can build and what we can learn for future products.Please let us know with any feedback, or if you’re interested in working on this: bark@suno.ai
