About Whitaker's Words

This is a port of William Whitaker's words program to android.

Words has an extensive dictionary of the Latin language as well as the capability to recognize various morphological forms and determine what the root word is as well as the what form it is in. Unlike other apps based on Whitaker's words, this is a port of the original code rather than simply using the dictionary, and therefore essentially feature complete compared to the desktop program.

This app is ad-free, open source, and requires no permissions.

Very good to see this in app form! A great help for learning Latin! Since this is a program it would be phenomenal if you could click on a word and get all the actual declensions or conjugations. It clearly already has all this information in the program, so would only have to work on the formatting for displaying. If it did this someone could almost learn this Latin just using this app! For an example, in Spanish the website Tomisimo does this conjugation breakdown' very well!

Finally - A great port of Whitaker's Words to Android! Latin students and enthusiasts alike will rejoice with this marvelous tool! I seldom review apps, however this one deserves as much praise as it can possibly receive! One minute criticism I possess is that this app was themed using Holo: a graphical overhaul following MDS would be much more pleasing to the eye.
