Suno AI Bark is a generative audio model that creates sound directly from text prompts. Unlike traditional text-to-speech systems, it doesn’t rely on intermediate phonemes. In addition to spoken voice, it can produce music, background noise, laughter, sighs, and other nonverbal audio cues. It supports multiple languages, though English output is generally the most reliable. Developers can integrate it in Python through the Hugging Face Transformers library.
