About

Lingua Viva

Read full description

Latin is everywhere — carved on buildings, stamped on coins, printed on diplomas, tattooed on skin. Lingua Viva tells you what it actually says. HOW IT WORKS Point your camera at any Latin text — a church facade, a gravestone, a coat of arms, a legal document — and get an instant translation, along with the history and context behind it. Prefer to type it in? Paste any Latin phrase directly for the same translation and context. FEATURES ◆ Scan Mode — camera-based translation for inscriptions you encounter in the real world ◆ Daily Phrase — a new historical Latin quote every day, with etymology showing how it shaped modern English ◆ Fake Latin Detector — find out if that tattoo, motto, or corporate slogan is actually grammatical Latin, or just Latin-shaped nonsense ◆ History — every scan and translation saved on your device for later reference WHY LINGUA VIVA Most Latin apps are built for studying — flashcards, drills, grammar tables. Lingua Viva is built for the moment you actually run into Latin in the wild and want to know what it means, right then. No account required to get started.
