Verify the reference
Canonical text, IAST, source work, chapter/verse, and provenance remain immutable inputs to the audio workflow.
LISTENING JOURNEY
Canonical text first. Reviewed audio when it is truly ready.
SlokaSandra is building a listening experience around verified scripture rather than attaching generic audio to every page. A track becomes playable only after rights, pronunciation review, provenance, timing metadata, and synchronized playback are complete.
Review the recitation
Rights-cleared source identity, commercial-use terms, pronunciation review, and recording/generation metadata are required before playback can be enabled.
Synchronize and stream
Reviewed audio is uploaded to private R2, phrase timings bind to canonical IDs, and same-site range-capable delivery enables seek, highlighting, and controlled auto-scroll.
PILOT REFERENCE
Bhagavad Gita 2.47
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥
The synchronized player foundation is already attached to the canonical page, but production audio remains intentionally disabled until the reviewed track, license provenance, R2 object, duration, and phrase timings exist.
Why some pages are still silentSilence is a quality state, not a missing feature. SlokaSandra keeps a page at “Awaiting verified recitation” rather than publishing uncertain pronunciation, unclear rights, fabricated timings, or an unreviewed synthetic voice.
