As new technologies make creation more accessible, more people can experience the joy of turning an idea into music, a story, or art, and get fulfillment from the simple act of making something. We call that creative entertainment, and we think it will define the next wave of consumer technology.
Music will always be at the heart of Suno and what we build. At the same time, our vision has always extended to other forms of human expression. Today, we’re expanding what's possible in Suno with Speech: the first audio model that generates voice and music together as one cohesive track.
How Speech Works
Speech lets you create spoken audio set to original background music. It's built right into Suno: type an idea, a poem or something you've written, then describe the voice and musical style you have in mind.
As we developed Speech, we kept stumbling into uses that made us laugh, or occasionally surprised us with how moving they could be. We turned friends’ texts into wildly overproduced dramatic readings. We gave ordinary voice notes unnecessarily epic scores. We made meditations, poems, pep talks, and bedtime stories for our kids.
That creativity is a natural extension of how people already use Suno. Every day, people make songs for birthdays, weddings, inside jokes, faith and worship, their kids, their friends, and moments that might mean absolutely nothing to anyone else but mean everything to them.
Speech opens up another canvas for that same kind of creativity.
Rolling Out to Our Community
We’ve spent the past month testing Speech with a small group of users. Now we’re opening the beta to everyone.
And beta really does mean beta. Occasionally, British accents can wander off to Australia and back.. Dramatic pauses may be very dramatic. You will almost certainly discover uses for this that never occurred to us. That’s the point! We’ll keep improving Speech as we learn what people love, what doesn’t quite work yet, and what our community wants to do next.
Speech is one new way to turn an idea into something personal, meaningful or delightful. We’ve had a lot of fun exploring what’s possible with it. Now we can’t wait to see what you make.
