Bark

MIT

Generates 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.
