Key Features

Dhamma.gift is a set of connected tools built around the Pali Canon (Sutta and Vinaya) and its translations: search, a line-by-line reader, a Pali dictionary, and a text-to-speech player, tied together so that finding a passage, reading it with a translation, listening to it, and memorizing it are all one continuous workflow rather than separate apps.

Dhamma.Gift — a multi-tool / one-window portal

Dhamma.gift was built to gather the best online resources on Dhamma and Pali in one place — texts, dictionaries, key websites, e-books and tools. They're all collected in the "link collection" tucked into the toolbar under the search box — see MultiTool. If something's missing, let us know!

Find.Dhamma.Gift — Sutta and Vinaya search

A tool for anyone who wants to systematically work through the Pali Suttas and Vinaya. Results come back in convenient tables with basic and advanced filtering, several sort orders, and grouping by text or by word. Gives direct access to the Pali texts with a line-by-line English and Russian translation, plus external links to Theravada.ru, Theravada.su, DigitalPaliReader.online, TheBuddhasWords.net and SuttaCentral.net. See Search.

Dhamma.Gift Read — line-by-line reading with a pop-up dictionary

• One of the largest collections of line-by-line Pali↔Russian texts anywhere: AN, DN, MN, SN, KN (Snp, Ud, Iti, Dhp, Thag, Thig), and parts of the Vinaya Vibhaṅga.
• The only site with a built-in, online Russian version of the Digital Pāḷi Dictionary (DPD) — a click-to-look-up popup dictionary.
• Multilingual mode — Pali, English and Russian translations shown together at once.
• Favorites & History — a personal library of texts for quick access.
• Reading Progress — resume exactly where you left off.
• Cloud Sync — favorites, history, reading progress and preferences (languages, theme, font) synced across devices, anonymously via a secret passphrase — no email or registration required. See Login.
• Full online DPD dictionary lookup, plus integration with DictTango (Android), Mdict (iOS), GoldenDict-NG (desktop), and Dharmamitra.org for deep grammatical analysis.
• Smart TOC — fast navigation that adapts to your selected languages. See TOC Navigator.
• Reading modes — no-punctuation, memorization mode, non-Latin script assistant (Devanagari, Thai, ...), and other modes. See Reader.
• Voice integration — jump straight from reading to listening or memorizing any phrase. See Voice / TTS.
• Keyboard shortcuts for fast navigation.

Dhamma.Gift Voice — a unified text + audio ecosystem

A set of tools for voicing canonical texts, built right into the reading flow instead of living in a separate playback app.

1. Reading Mode player — built straight into the sutta interface:

• alternates Pali and translation in either order;
• pauses between phrases — an adjustable gap for reflection or reading aloud along with it;
• A-B loop — repeat any passage for focused listening;
• built-in device voices (e.g. Android's Sanskrit voice reads Pali reasonably well) — works offline;
• Google voices — a much larger, higher-quality selection than the built-in ones;
• auto-scroll and highlighting of the current phrase.

2. Memorize & Meditate (Memo) — memorize texts by heart or build audio meditations:

• a highly flexible TTS setup — customize the voicing for any text;
• fine-grained slicing into blocks by period, comma, or line;
• adjustable repeat count and pause length per phrase;
• an end-of-cycle gong (handy for meditation);
• an MP3 generator — save the whole session as one audio file;
• "Timer" mode — a plain interval timer for meditation with no text;
• visual hints — compressing text down to first letters, for memory training.
