A vṛtta (metre) aware Sanskrit chant tutor — hear the correct chant of any śloka, then chant along and get instant per-syllable feedback.
Prof. Prathosh A P · Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru
Paste a śloka, hear the metre-aware chant, and recite — right here.
Use a microphone and allow access when prompted. Best on a laptop or desktop. For classical (laukika) Sanskrit — not intended for Vedic texts (svara/accented recitation).
Not transcription — a practice companion.
Vāgbodhinī helps you learn to chant Sanskrit correctly. You paste a śloka in any script, it splits the verse into pādas by metre and synthesises the correct chant with our metre-aware TTS (Vāgdhenu). You chant along, and a Sanskrit speech-recognition model scores each syllable — showing what landed and what to work on. Because the target text is known, the tool verifies your recitation rather than guessing it, so it stays reliable even where open transcription is hard.
Devanāgarī, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Grantha, or Roman (IAST/HK/ITRANS). The script is auto-detected and echoed back so you can confirm.
The metre (vṛtta) is detected and the verse is split into pāda (¼) · ardha (½) · full. Each is chanted by Vāgdhenu — learn quarter by quarter, then the whole verse.
Record your recitation; every akshara is marked correct / to-fix / unclear, with a match score. Choose Be-strict or Be-liberal. Play your chant against the reference, and overrule the tool when you know you're right.
