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.

DecipherInk is a mobile tool with language courses specific to genealogy. It teaches you just what you need to know of a foreign language to navigate 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.

Below is a comparison of the 3-month subscription with genealogical institutes and university courses (though these do not teach both vocabulary and paleography in a single course).
