A 15-year-old dream has come true today. I started a PhD with the dream of creating a system that chants any Sanskrit shloka perfectly.And here I am opening sourcing Vaghenu, a meter aware sloka-to-chant, TTS for Sanskrit . This is the world s first vrutta-aware, open-source TTS for Sanskrit Chanting. I am making the model weights, training scripts, and even data (that I meticulously collected) public - https://prathosh.in/vagdhenu/No large AI lab. No big engineering team. No venture-scale budget. Just a professor s conviction that one of humanity s oldest knowledge traditions deserves modern, open infrastructure.The name comes from the Upanishadic phrase: Vācaṃ dhenum upāsīta - Like the mythical wish-fulfilling cow, Vāgdhenu is intended to make Sanskrit texts more accessible to students, teachers, researchers, and devotees everywhere.Test out the live demo here and let me know your comments - https://prathosh.in/vagdhenu/The entire system, from data collection to model building and demos, is built by a single person (your truly) using the powerful harness that we are building at LatentForce.I have attached a sample audio file generated by the system.P.S: Posting on behalf of my friend, their aren t on HN.
