Chandojñānam an online metre identifier for Sanskrit and friends

Some may be interested in the following online software:

https://sanskrit.iitk.ac.in/jnanasangraha/chanda/

It takes txt files in sanskrit (and it seems prakrits?) and tells you what metre they are in.

for example pasting in

satto guhāyaṃ bahunābhichanno
tiṭṭhaṃ naro mohanasmiṃ pagāḷho
dūre vivekā hi tathāvidho so
kāmā hi loke na hi suppahāyā

it outputs

Gaṇa ta ta ja ga ga
Counts 11 akṣarāṇi, 18 mātrāḥ
