Genealogical language education on the go!

Language learning for genealogists is different. You don't need to know how to order at a restaurant or ask where the nearest bathroom is. Other vocabulary takes front stage, like family relationships, causes of death, and dates. 

Built by genealogists for genealogists, DecipherInk is a mobile language learning app. It teaches you just what you need to know of a foreign language to read and interpret genealogical records and leaves out the rest. 

DecipherInk teaches scripts, paleography*, basic grammar, and genealogical vocabulary. It also includes practice aimed at increasing vocabulary retention and improving document reading speed, as well as easy-to-use reference materials. 

You'll love our endless practice section!

We are so excited to bring this tool to you and your genealogy. 

Find us on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. You'll receive our American Cursive course for free and have the ability to subscribe to our German course.
