short_description: Sentence similarity in the VPC
---

This tool searches for semantically similar sentences in the Vedic Prose Corpus (VPC).
It works on **English** machine translations of all VPC texts generated with Sebastian Nehrdich's [Dharmamitra](https://dharmamitra.org/) API.

The app can be run locally. To enable this behavior, change the line 

`setting = 'web'`

to

`setting = 'local'`

in `app.py`, and make sure to adapt the relative paths to model and resources (found below the setting line).
