+# Model Card: Bark
+
+This is the official codebase for running the text to audio model, from Suno.ai.
+
+The following is additional information about the models released here. 
+
+## Model Details
+
+Bark is a series of three transformer models that turn text into audio.
+
+### Text to semantic tokens
+ - Input: text, tokenized with [BERT tokenizer from Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/bert#transformers.BertTokenizer)
+ - Output: semantic tokens that encode the audio to be generated
+
+### Semantic to coarse tokens
+ - Input: semantic tokens
+ - Output: tokens from the first two codebooks of the [EnCodec Codec](https://github.com/facebookresearch/encodec) from facebook
+
+### Coarse to fine tokens
+ - Input: the first two codebooks from EnCodec
+ - Output: 8 codebooks from EnCodec
+
+### Architecture

+
+## Broader Implications
+We anticipate that this model's text to audio capabilities can be used to improve accessbility tools in a variety of languages. 
+Straightforward improvements will allow models to run faster than realtime, rendering them useful for applications such as virtual assistants. 
+ 
+While we hope that this release will enable users to express their creativity and build applications that are a force
+for good, we acknowledge that any text to audio model has the potential for dual use. While it is not straightforward
+to voice clone known people with Bark, they can still be used for nefarious purposes. To further reduce the chances of unintended use of Bark, 
+we also release a simple classifier to detect Bark-generated audio with high accuracy (see notebooks section of the main repository).
