This paper introduces AuK, an open-source model for speech generation and editing, which can perform a range of tasks with a single interface and achieves state-of-the-art performance on several tasks. Practitioners may care about this model for its potential to improve speech synthesis and editing capabilities in applications such as voice assistants and audio editing software.
