A Voice-Based Telugu Storytelling Platform for Students & Communities
కథలకొసం (meaning "for the sake of stories") is a community platform built to collect, preserve, and celebrate regional, personal, and devotional stories in Telugu, contributed by real voices — especially students from Telangana.
It allows users to:
🎙️ Record a story using their own voice
📍 Tag the story by region/district
📖 Automatically generate title, summary, and moral
🎧 Get instant playback and view related folk tales
🏅 Earn badges and certificates for contributing
Telugu is rich in oral tradition, but most stories live only in the memories of elders and rural students. We aim to:
- Digitize personal and cultural stories in native dialects
- Build a student-first platform that gives back meaning and learning
- Make language preservation fun, rewarding, and accessible
- Empower the next generation to contribute to their Bhasha Sanskruti
