Seven familiar yoga terms, heard two ways: a deliberately mangled version and a careful reference generated from the Devanagari.
Press the red button, then the green one. The mangled version is an English-trained voice — the way it actually comes out in a studio. The correct version is an Indian-English voice reading the Devanagari, because a phonetic respelling read by an English voice still comes out with English vowels.
Tap the mangled version first, then the careful reference, and listen for the sound that changes.
Pick a term, record it, and it gets scored out of 100 — accuracy, fluency and completeness, and which part of the word fell apart. Then hear it back in your own voice, said correctly. It takes eleven seconds and it's the most uncomfortable eleven seconds in yoga.
Graded per syllable by an acoustic pronunciation model against the Devanagari reference, not by transcription. The audio is sent for scoring and is not stored.
We build a temporary clone of your voice and have it say the term properly. Same voice, said right — which is the version worth copying, because it is already yours. Cloning needs about ten seconds of speech, so read the sentence below out loud.
Your recording is sent once to be scored and is not stored anywhere — the copy you play back stays in this browser tab and disappears when you close the page.
Not a course you watch. A test you take with your voice, on the fifty terms a teacher actually says in a class.
Nothing is charged today. The graded version isn't open yet — the scoring has to be right before we sell it, and I'd rather say that than take $9.95 now.
What is and isn't built, plainly: the scoring above is real. It runs on an acoustic pronunciation-assessment model that grades your recording syllable by syllable against the Devanagari — not speech-to-text, which transcribes a mangled word to the correct spelling and would score everybody perfect. We measured it by feeding it our own deliberately-mangled clips: it gives the wrong Vīrabhadrāsana 6 out of 100, the wrong Śavāsana 4, the wrong Ujjāyī 11 — and the wrong Namaste 98, because the word is too short for it to hear the difference. Every term on this page says which kind it is, because that number is the honest limit of the grader. The fifty-term credential stays closed until every term is calibrated and the references are reviewed by a Sanskrit teacher. Nothing is charged today.
A 200-hour certificate says you attended. It doesn't say you can say the name of the pose you're teaching. We're building the certification that measures what you can actually do — and this is the first competency small enough to test in an afternoon.
