What's New in Sermocinando

4.0.1

October 20, 2026

Sermocinando 4.0: a fresh look, the gods on stage, and your own texts to discuss. • A new design throughout: a conversation screen with a larger mic and a recording timer, and a cleaner bubble that opens in place and lights up each word as the voice speaks • Redesigned character cards, reorganised Settings and a Tabularium with your activity stats • Restored classical pronunciation now voices the long vowels, and you see them marked in the text • Authors know their own works and quote them. New: “Let's talk about a text” — ask them to suggest a real passage, or bring your own Latin text (paste it or import a PDF) and discuss it together, in Latin • The gods arrive: eleven deities, from Jupiter to Mercury, each with their own voice, in the new Di Immortales category • New Schola tab, the new home of your Memoria (formerly Verba): words not yet consolidated no longer disappear after 48 hours — they wait for you in “To revisit” • The character reacts as soon as you finish speaking, with a nod and thinking dots, so the wait feels shorter • Latin is back as an interface language • Free trial: 3 days free on both plans, monthly and yearly

User reviews

Brilliant Latin-learning app!!

I can’t say how impressed I am with this new app. It allows you to practice speaking and writing Latin in a totally communicative way, at whatever level you’re currently at. Normally in a class I hesitate to speak, because my spoken Latin skills aren’t great. But with this app I’m not self-conscious, and am able to speak Latin much more easily. I like too the way it gives feedback about errors in a very gentle way.

Response from developer

Thank you so much, David — this means a great deal to us. You've captured the very heart of what Sermocinando is meant to be: a space to practice speaking and writing Latin without the fear of being judged, at whatever level you're at. That "gentle feedback" you mention it's the whole philosophy behind the app, so reading that it works for you is the best confirmation we could hope for. And beyond this review: thank you for the constant exchanges and thoughtful suggestions. Your input has genuinely accelerated several of the features you now see in the app. Gratias plurimas tibi agimus!
