Lingua Viva

Just launched! Point your camera at any Latin inscription, motto, or phrase and get an instant translation with historical context.

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.
