Bark

Bark is a cutting-edge, transformer-based text-to-audio model that generates realistic, multilingual speech and audio. Unlike traditional text-to-speech models, Bark can produce a wide range of sounds, including music, background noise, and nonverbal cues like laughter or sighs. Pretrained model checkpoints are available for inference and commercial use, making it accessible for developers and researchers alike.

Key features include:

• Multilingual Support: Automatically detects and generates speech in multiple languages.
• Versatile Audio Generation: Capable of creating music, sound effects, and nonverbal communication.
• Fast Performance: Optimized for both CPU and GPU, with options for smaller models to fit lower VRAM.

Bark is open-source and licensed under the MIT License, encouraging community collaboration and innovation. Perfect for creative projects, research, and more.
