Transcript

Since we published, our research has faced some tough questions. Today, we answer them.

Is this science? We built a working synthesizer, a published format, and a white paper. We'll let you decide.

Why? Farts are shared constantly, and described poorly. Usually in a single adjective.

Who asked? Nobody. That has never stopped science before.

Is it reproducible? Yes. The same 12 bytes make the same fart, on any device, every time.

Where's the data? Seven public domain recordings. And a free sound library, at fartbytes.com/sounds

Has it been peer reviewed? It's being reviewed right now. You're the peer.

The narrator is an AI-generated voice, made with Kokoro, an open-source text-to-speech model. Every sound was rendered by the Super Fart Lab's own engine from public-domain recordings, which you can download from the free fart sound effects library.
