-Bark is a transformer-based text-to-audio model created by [Suno](https://suno.ai). It can generate highly realistic multilingual speech, other audio, including music and background noise, and speaker emotions like laughing, sighing and crying. To support the community we give access to pretrained model checkpoints ready for inference.
+Bark is a transformer-based text-to-audio model created by [Suno](https://suno.ai). Bark can generate highly realistic, multilingual speech as well as other audio - including music, background noise and simple sound effects. The model can also produce nonverbal communications like laughing, sighing and crying. To support the research community, we are providing access to pretrained model checkpoints ready for inference.

 Running Bark requires running >100M parameter transformer models.
 On modern GPUs and PyTorch nightly, Bark can generate audio in roughly realtime. On older GPUs, default colab, or CPU, inference time might be 10-100x slower.
