Suno, best known as an AI music generator, is adding a new feature called Speech. It produces spoken text and matching background music together as a single audio track. Users type in an idea or written text and describe the voice and music style they want. The model then generates both the voice and the sound.
Suno product chief Jack Brody says the company tested Speech with a small group for a month. Suno says the feature can be used for poems, meditations, and bedtime stories, though the beta still has bugs; for example, a British accent can sometimes sound Australian.
Suno has not said how it trained the model. That comes as AI music generators face criticism over potential copyright infringement. Major record labels have already sued Suno, and a Munich court recently ruled against the startup, rejecting fair use as a justification for using copyrighted data.
