Show HN: Bark.cpp, fast TTS model for multilingual realistic audio generation (github.com) 3 points by el_pa_b 2y ago ↗ HN
[–] el_pa_b 2y ago ↗ Hello!I ported Suno AI's Bark text-to-speech model in C/C++ to allow fast, realistic, multilingual audio generation on the CPU.Generating a 5-second audio with vanilla Bark takes 1 minute on a M1 Pro CPU. Using my port in C++ with ggml, it goes down to 15 seconds.I aim to bring it down to a second to allow on-device real-time audio generation.
