Get Lexidium Now!
A little Latin for your iPhone
This is the 21st century. You don’t need to lug around a 6-pound tome of a dictionary. You don’t need to waste time flipping through pages to find the entry you want, then waste even more time finding the relevant information in the entry. You especially don’t need to ruin your eyes by staring at column after column of teeny-tiny print.
Lexidium is fast and simple. Just enter a word in Latin and get results immediately. No more licking your finger to turn the page.
Built on a strong foundation
Lexidium reproduces a public-domain version of Lewis and Short’s Latin dictionary, still one of the scholarly gold standards. You can use this dictionary for free through the website of the Perseus Project, but Lexidium gives you the fast and easy iPhone interface you’re used to. Plus you don’t need an Internet connection to use it!
Short definitions
Lexidium shows you a “short definition” for most words in case you’re in a hurry and all you need is a gloss. Most are automatically generated from the text of the dictionary, so if you find one that doesn’t look right, help make everyone’s experience better by correcting it. Your corrections will be featured in updates to Lexidium.
Bookmarks
If you find yourself going back to the same entries over and over, Lexidium lets you bookmark entries and return to them in a hurry.
Numeral Conversion
Lexidium converts between Roman and regular (Arabic) numerals. Just type a number in either format into the converter; if it’s recognized Lexidium will give you the conversion.
Word Parser
Lexidium can connect to Perseus to parse inflected forms so you can find their dictionary entries faster. Just enter the word you want to parse; if Lexidium finds any matches they’ll be displayed in the main window.
An Internet connection is required for this feature. Please note: the parser is experimental and subject to change at any time.
