      • Dhammapada
  • Customization:
    • Choose your preferred target language for AI features.

Raycast AI Requirements (Important)

This extension can be used fully without AI (read/browse/search). The AI actions (Summarize / Explain / Translate / Comparable Quote) use the Raycast AI API.

  • If you don’t have Raycast AI (for example: no Pro subscription, or AI isn’t available on your platform), those actions will show an in-app message explaining that AI isn’t available.
  • No external AI API key is required for these AI actions (they use Raycast AI).
  • Accuracy notice: AI-generated comparable scripture matches may not be 100% accurate; verify with primary scripture sources.

Preferences

  • Color Scheme: Choose the theme color for icons (Blue, Green, Purple, Orange, Red). Default is Orange.
  • Show Sanskrit: Determine whether or not the original Sanskrit verses are displayed.
  • API Source: Pick between the Vedic Scriptures (no API key required) or RapidAPI (API key required).
  • RapidAPI Key: Provide your API key if you opted for the RapidAPI source.
  • AI Target Language: Select the target language for AI-generated summaries, translations, and explanations (supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Hindi, and more).
