The inability to train custom voices makes this useless for anything except generic TTS. Why do AI devs keep shooting their own projects in the foot? This trend is upsetting me so much.
Probably because if they are seen as enablers of scams, they'll be shot by someone else.

What are you talking about? It's MIT licensed.

I'm curious, how did you generate the David Attenborough voice? The repo says: > Bark tries to match the tone, pitch, emotion and prosody of a given preset, but does not currently support custom voice cloning.

#37I'll link my Bark fork with long audio generation and other features on the root thread, I suppose: https://github.com/JonathanFly/bark There's going to be a big update this week with some new stuff I haven't talked about. And a bunch of amazing, clear voices, with a huge variety of styles, that blow the default Suno voices out of the water. Arguably even better than Eleven in some ways. I'm excited even though I hav…

Thanks for your fork, I know a lot of folks love it. This might not be the HN style, But I'd suggest you a freemium microSaas approach. A lot of people I know want 1-click solution for audios and you might have great potential for that. That can add some $$$$ to your bank.
