Vaghenu: a meter-aware Sanskrit TTS that chants slokas correctly

Hacker News Show HN·1w·init0

init0 built Vaghenu, a text-to-speech tool specifically for Sanskrit that understands poetic meter (chandas) to produce accurate chanting of slokas — something generic TTS engines fail at entirely. For makers working in underserved language and cultural niches, this is a clean example of carving out a defensible, specialized tool that big players won't bother with.
