    Meta has launched Audiobox, a successor to its Voicebox tool for generating audio from natural language prompts.

    The new tool can generate audio clips including speech in various styles and environments, non-speech sound effects and soundscapes.

    It can also restyle voices, making them sound as if they are speaking in a particular environment such as a cathedral, or with a certain emotion.

    Users can input a description of the sound they wish to generate, or combine a voice input with a text style prompt to create the desired audio.

    The tool has been released to a limited number of researchers and institutions to encourage the development of responsible AI use.
