Bark on GitHub is a project that makes an AI tool for creating natural and expressive speech from text. The code is open for anyone to see and use. You can type words, and the AI will turn them into spoken audio. It supports many voices and emotions so the speech sounds more real. Developers can download it and add it to their own apps or tools. Bark works on computers and can run without needing paid cloud services. It helps people build talkāenabled AI projects more easily.
