Bark
MITGenerates laughter, sighs, and music — the chaotic one
Bark, from Suno, is a generative text-to-audio model rather than a plain TTS system. Beyond multilingual speech it produces laughter, sighs, crying, music, and background sounds from inline cues — trading precise control for creative range. Still unmatched for character and chaos.

Is there a hosted Bark API?
Yes — OpenSpeech Cloud is launching hosted, pay-per-minute access to Bark and every other model in this directory. No CUDA, Docker, or GPU needed.
