Open-source TTS Vagdhenu powers a web app for learning Sanskrit shlokas
divyayyy · x · 2026-09-26
Developer Keshava built a small web app that helps kids and beginners learn Sanskrit shlokas, powered by the open-source TTS project Vagdhenu by prathoshap. Tapping each pāda plays a chanted recitation over a soft tambura backing, with a beginner set plus an advanced section (Yantroddhāraka Hanuman Stotra and more on the way). The TTS author shared it as an example of open source at work: you build something, and the community makes it more useful.
