Text-to-speech generation using Bark and OpenVINO

This Jupyter notebook can be launched after a local installation only.

Github

🐶 Bark is a transformer-based text-to-audio model created by Suno. 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.

With Bark, users can also produce nonverbal communications like laughing, sighing, and crying, making it a versatile tool for a variety of applications.

Bark is a cutting-edge text-to-speech (TTS) technology that has taken the AI world by storm. Unlike the typical TTS engines that sound robotic and mechanic, Bark offers human-like voices that are highly realistic and natural sounding. Bark uses GPT-style models to generate speech with minimal tweaking, producing highly expressive and emotive voices that can capture nuances such as tone, pitch, and rhythm. It offers a fantastic experience that can leave you wondering if you’re listening to human beings.

Notably, Bark supports multiple languages and can generate speech in Mandarin, French, Italian, Spanish, and other languages with impressive clarity and accuracy. With Bark, you can easily switch between languages and still enjoy high-quality sound effects.

Bark is not only intelligent but also intuitive, making it an ideal tool for individuals and businesses looking to create high-quality voice content for their platforms. Whether you’re looking to create podcasts, audiobooks, video game sounds, or any other form of voice content, Bark has you covered.

So, if you’re looking for a revolutionary text-to-speech technology that can elevate your voice content, Bark is the way to go! In this tutorial we consider how to convert and run bark with OpenVINO.

About model

Bark uses GPT-style models to generate audio from scratch, but the initial text prompt is embedded into high-level semantic tokens without the use of phonemes. This allows Bark to generalize to arbitrary instructions beyond speech that occur in the training data, such as music lyrics, sound effects, or other non-speech sounds.

A subsequent second model is used to convert the generated semantic tokens into audio codec tokens to generate the full waveform. To enable the community to use Bark via public code, EnCodec codec from Facebook is used to act as an audio representation.

torch version does not support flash attention. You will get faster inference speed by upgrade torch to newest nightly version.

Text encoder is responsible for embedding initial text prompt into high-level semantic tokens. it uses tokenizer for conversion input text to token ids and predicts semantic text tokens that capture the meaning of the text. There are some differences between text encoder behavior on first step and others. It is the reason why we need to use separated models for that.

Coarse encoder is a causal autoregressive transformer, that takes as input the results of the text encoder model. It aims at predicting the first two audio codebooks necessary for EnCodec. Coarse encoder is autoregressive model, it means that for making prediction on next step, it uses own output from previous step. For reducing model complexity and optimization, caching key and values for attention blocks can be used. past_key_values contains set of precomputed attention keys and values for each attention module in the model from previous step as they will be not changed from step to step and allow us calculate only update for the current step and join to previous. For avoiding to have separated model for first inference, where model does not have “past”, we will provide empty tensor on the first step.

Bark is a universal text-to-audio model created by [Suno](http://suno.ai). \
Bark can generate highly realistic, multilingual speech as well as other audio - including music, background noise and simple sound effects. \
The model output is not censored and the authors do not endorse the opinions in the generated content. \
Use at your own risk.
"""

article = """

## 🌎 Foreign Language

Bark supports various languages out-of-the-box and automatically determines language from input text. \
When prompted with code-switched text, Bark will even attempt to employ the native accent for the respective languages in the same voice.

Try the prompt:

```
Buenos días Miguel. Tu colega piensa que tu alemán es extremadamente malo. But I suppose your english isn't terrible.
```

## 🤭 Non-Speech Sounds

Below is a list of some known non-speech sounds, but we are finding more every day. \
Please let us know if you find patterns that work particularly well on Discord!

* [laughter]
* [laughs]
* [sighs]
* [music]
* [gasps]
* [clears throat]
* — or ... for hesitations
* ♪ for song lyrics
* capitalization for emphasis of a word
* MAN/WOMAN: for bias towards speaker

Try the prompt:

```
" [clears throat] Hello, my name is Suno. And, uh — and I like pizza. [laughs] But I also have other interests such as... ♪ singing ♪."
```

## 🎶 Music
Bark can generate all types of audio, and, in principle, doesn't see a difference between speech and music. \
Sometimes Bark chooses to generate text as music, but you can help it out by adding music notes around your lyrics.

Try the prompt:

```
♪ In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion barks tonight ♪
```

## 🧬 Voice Cloning

Bark has the capability to fully clone voices - including tone, pitch, emotion and prosody. \
The model also attempts to preserve music, ambient noise, etc. from input audio. \
However, to mitigate misuse of this technology, we limit the audio history prompts to a limited set of Suno-provided, fully synthetic options to choose from.

## 👥 Speaker Prompts

You can provide certain speaker prompts such as NARRATOR, MAN, WOMAN, etc. \
Please note that these are not always respected, especially if a conflicting audio history prompt is given.

Try the prompt:

```
WOMAN: I would like an oatmilk latte please.
MAN: Wow, that's expensive!
```
