A few weeks back, I mentioned working on one of my passion projects. I recently completed it. The project involved curating the speeches of a Christian preacher as a birthday gift for my grandfather, whom we affectionately call Daddy.
He has long believed in the potential of speech-to-text technology to convert speeches into books. My mother, Dr. Anu Thomas, and I collaborated on this project and presented it to him a few days ago. He was obviously thrilled that his vision had been realized. I’m grateful to have played a small part in completing this project, with the help of the Gemini 2.5 Pro and Saarika 2.5 models.
You can check out this book in this github repo.
(To some of my friends and few of colleagues at Sarvam, I send a bit more longer message which is not shared here.)
