Turning up audio in Sanskrit is very easy, but most of it is chanted or sung, not spoken. This thread is meant to list sites where spoken Sanskrit can be found.
gIrvANI is entirely devoted to this purpose; it has a bit of Sanskrit audio, in realaudio format. Sanskrit News collects the daily Sanskrit news from All India Radio in a much more convenient format. Samskrutam.com has various links, at least 4 of which seem to be to spoken audio; I don't have the software to view some of them and confirm this. sanskritlibrary.org is perhaps worth mentioning. On the negative side, the audio is chanted. On the positive side, it's accompanied by English, Sanskrit, literal translations, literary translations, and tons of notes. There are corresponding hardcopy books. If anyone knows of other sites with spoken Sanskrit (not sung/chanted), please post links to them.

Where did you manage to find audio on Sanskritlibrary.org? I can only find this Java applet with 2 books. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

You need to access it through the applet (at least, that's the only sanctioned way, and I haven't tried to figure anything else out). Inconvenient? Absolutely. That said, given the sheer amount of very useful information (literary and word by word translations, etc, etc), I know of nothing that rivals it in its niche. If it were easily downloadable, and spoken rather than chanted, it'd be very, very close to perfect; as it is, well, I think it's worth knowing about despite these flaws. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Ah, after some fiddling about I got it to work. Thanks. Agreed. If the audio quality were a little better I think it'd be perfect too. The closest tool to this I can think of is Perseus, it is available for Ancient Greek, Latin and now it seems, Classical Arabic, although it lacks audio. 1 person has voted this message useful |
