The Sanscrit language, whatever be its antiquity, is of a wonderful structure; more perfect than the Greek, more copious than the Latin, and more exquisitely refined than either, yet bearing to both of them a stronger affinity, both in the roots of verbs and the forms of grammar, than could possibly have been produced by accident; so strong indeed, that no philologer could examine them all three, without believing them to have sprung from some common source, which, perhaps, no longer exists; there is a similar reason, though not quite so forcible, for supposing that both the Gothic and the Celtic, though blended with a very different idiom, had the same origin with the Sanscrit; and the old Persian might be added to the same family.

Pāṇini (Devanagari: पाणिनि, pronounced [paːɳɪnɪ]) was a Sanskrit philologist, grammarian, and revered scholar in ancient India variously dated between the 6th and 4th century BCE. Since the discovery and publication of his work Aṣṭādhyāyī by European scholars in the nineteenth century, Pāṇini has been considered the "first descriptive linguist", and even labelled as “the father of linguistics”.

- You start the recording with a start button (You can click on it, touch it, or simply move Your finger/cursor over it).
- Subsequently, You move the finger/cursor over the first syllable/word. You pronounce the segment only when its background has green color.
- You gradually progress from syllable to syllable and segment to segment. You always start pronouncing certain segment only when it is green.
- Note that accentuated & long syllables are marked with blue color, while short/non-accentuated syllables are marked with green color.
- After You are done with the last syllable You move Your finger towards the stop button. Then you can playback the whole recording, when you are satisfied you click on "Upload" and the next text appears.

- Do not upload :: You do not give us Your consent. Thus, no data will be uploaded from Your browser to our server. But You can still use the interface for testing purposes.
- Only speech-to-text-models :: Your recordings will become part of the corpus from which automatic speech recognition (ASR) models will be trained. Corpus itself will not be published but the final model will be published.
- Only text-to-speech :: Similar to previous option but this time, the resulting model will not be used for ASR but for synthesis of artificial voices.
- STT & TTS :: Both ASR and voice synthesis models could be trained from datasets containing Your recordings. Again, the recordings themselves will not be published.
- Public Dataset :: Your recordings will become part of a publicly available dataset. This is the most permissive option.
Note that in all cases, Your recordings will be anonymized and asides voluntary gender / age / zodiac sign / mother language information no metadata is collected.
