- Worth noticing
- The site says texts are transcribed from cited editions, while meanings remain drafts and can be reported as mistaken in the app.
Field notes
The homepage describes a text workflow that pairs each gatha with a plain meaning, English-letter reading support, and tap-to-define words. Its ritual section names Samayik and several forms of Pratikraman, with a hands-free recitation option; calendar details can be set for a user's city. The project says texts come from cited editions and offers an in-app route for reporting errors, while noting that some recordings stream.
