Tamil, Bengali, Urdu, Hindi, Kannada - each a living civilisation, spoken daily by hundreds of millions. Yet for too long, AI treated them as afterthoughts. Models built elsewhere, for someone else, leaving Bharat to make do with approximations of its own languages. **BharatGen was built to end that.** We are India's sovereign AI initiative - weaving the country's languages, cultures, and voices into technology that is truly Indian. Not adapted. Not translated. *Built from the ground up, for Bharat.* **Sooktam-2** is our answer to India's need for a voice. A Text-to-Speech model that speaks 12 languages (11 indian languages + 1 indian english) with the phonetic precision, prosody, and cultural soul they deserve - so that every Indian, in every state, can hear AI speak *their* language, in *their* accent, and feel at home. This is **GenAI for Bharat, by Bharat.** --- ## What is Sooktam-2? Sooktam-2 is a sovereign multilingual Text-to-Speech model built by BharatGen. It synthesises natural, expressive speech across India's major languages using reference-guided voice conditioning - preserving the speaker's voice, accent, and cultural cadence. **Represented Languages - 12** `Hindi` · `Marathi` · `Gujarati` · `Tamil` · `Telugu` · `Kannada` · `Bengali` · `Malayalam` · `Odia` · `Urdu` · `Punjabi` · `Indian English` **Key Capabilities** - Reference-guided voice cloning - Multilingual Indic speech synthesis - Natural prosody and expressive delivery - Language-aware CLS tokenization for accurate Indic phonetics - Production-quality audio output, deployment-...
