Happy Diwali. Shruti by @udgamlabs now types all 22 languages of India's Eighth Schedule with no internet, each in a file under 30 MB, about a fifth of IndicConformer's 137.7 MB.
It is an AI model that writes text from speech, and it runs on a five-year-old phone. If you speak one of these 22, you can use it on your own phone, right in the browser.
If you build apps, you can integrate it, and I want any developer to be able to serve millions of Indians in their own language without depending on a big company, a cloud bill or a big GPU. Open weights, Apache-2.0, built on Cactus Whistle.
