Svara is the Vedic pitch accent — the rise and fall of tone (udātta, anudātta, svarita) that is essential to correct mantra recitation.

How does Recitations.org help?

It gives real-time pitch feedback as you recite, shows each syllable's target svara, and lets you practice word-by-word at your own pace.

Do I need any equipment?

Just a microphone. Calibrate your Sa (tonic) once, then sing along; the app tracks your pitch live. It works free in the browser.
