Vagdhenu - Sanskrit chanting

[Vardhan Walavalkar]

This is a project I recently came across from Prof Prathosh A. P. from IISc Bangalore.

A demo for generating chants for shlokas is here: 
https://huggingface.co/spaces/prathoshap/vagdhenu-demo

and here: https://prathosh.in/vagdhenu/

Demos rendered with this system:

• Mahābhārata Tātparya Nirṇaya (MBTN) — full chant series: YouTube playlist
• Śrīmad Bhāgavatam — karaoke-video series: YouTube playlist

The TTS (text to speech) model was trained (fine tuned) on the professors voice input.

Paper and code is open source. It does only non-vedic chanting (out of choice).

Thought this may be interesting to some, hence sharing.
For anything further the professor can be contacted on the email on his site.
