Inscription Reader
Point. Read. Understand.
Describe an inscription you have found — on a building, monument, coin, gravestone, or artifact — and LINGUA will identify the language, translate the text, and provide historical context.
Where You'll Find Inscriptions
Every inscription tells a story. Here are the places people find them.
Museum Artifacts
Cuneiform tablets, Greek pottery, Egyptian cartouches — understand what ancient objects actually say.
Monuments & Memorials
Latin inscriptions on government buildings, war memorials in foreign languages, UNESCO heritage sites.
Gravestones
Old cemetery headstones in Hebrew, Latin, Gaelic, or other languages — uncover family history.
Coins & Currency
Ancient and foreign coins with inscriptions in Greek, Arabic, Chinese, or obscure mints.
Pottery & Ceramics
Maker's marks, dedication inscriptions, and ownership stamps on archaeological pottery.
Tattoos
Verify what a foreign-language tattoo actually says — before or after getting it.
Building Facades
Cornerstones, foundation dates, Latin mottos, and decorative text on historical buildings.
Academic Research
Photographs of inscriptions from excavations, fieldwork rubbings, and archival images.
