Vagdhenu Ivr Pool Voice

--- tags: - text-to-speech - sanskrit --- # Vāgdhenu — experimental IVR-pool voice Experimental second voice for [Vāgdhenu](https://github.com/prathoshap/vagdhenu), fine-tuned on a pooled set of 4 male speakers from **IndicVoices-R** (gated HF dataset — anyone retraining from scratch must accept its terms separately). Unlike the project's default chant voice, this checkpoint clones the identity of whatever reference clip it's given. Trade-off: it reads Sanskrit in a spoken style rather than the traditional chant (pārāyaṇa) cadence — expected, since IndicVoices-R is spoken, not chanted, speech. `voice_ivr_pool_2026-07_ema.pt` — EMA-only weights, same format as the project's other DiT voice checkpoints (`ema_model_state_dict` key), 60 epochs / 9720 updates on Kaggle T4×2. Not affiliated with the upstream `prathoshap/vagdhenu` repo/weights — kept separate since this is still experimental and trained on gated data with its own license terms.
