Englisc · extinct (11th c.) · Lemmatizer: CLTK (planned)
The language of Alfred, of Beowulf, of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Laesi's planned CLTK integration will handle Old English's strong and weak declensions properly. Coming as the analyzer lands.
What the big apps miss
A reader that supports Old English
Most reading apps stop at a dozen mass-market languages. Laesi supports 60+, and Old English is one of them — not as an afterthought, but as a first-class language with its own vocabulary database.
Coming soon
Old English isn't available yet — it's on our roadmap. The infrastructure is built; the analyzer is what's left.
Pay once, own it
No subscription, no cloud, no meter. Laesi is a one-time purchase that runs locally — your texts and vocabulary stay on your machine.
Features, for Old English specifically
Every Laesi feature works for Old English. The reader, the dictionary panel, the browser extension, and Anki export don't change from language to language — only the analyzer behind them does.
