Alpheios Reading Tools Version 2.1.0.19, December 2018
This is the first release of the Alpheios Reading Tools for Safari.
The Chrome and Firefox
extensions have been updated as well.
In addition to the support for Safari, the following features are included in this release:
- The Inflection Table Browser has been moved to its own tab, separate from inflection tables for query results.
- Issues with the Alpheios popup and panel styles being affected by the underlying page styles have been fixed.
- Improved handling of panel state upon page navigation.
- Additiional Latin irregular verb inflection tables.
Alpheios builds evidence-based, open-source software to
support worldwide study of classical languages and literatures.
We will help people learn how to learn languages as
efficiently and enjoyably as possible, and in a way that best helps them
understand their own literary heritage and culture, and the
literary heritage and culture of other peoples throughout history.
Our initial focus is on classical literature in languages no
longer spoken, such as Latin and ancient Greek. The influence of these
classics,
like the river Alpheios, still runs like a subterranean stream
deep beneath the contemporary world, as artists and thinkers continue
to draw inspiration from them.
Next priorities include supporting more languages, including
Persian, Syriac and Hebrew, and adding audio and imagery as
well as language learning aids and games. Longer term goals
include using the Alpheios platform to collect big data on
how different individuals can best learn the historical
languages (those without living native speakers) and appreciate their
classical literature, and
how this data can be interpreted neurophysiologically to shed
light on human literacy and response to literature in general.
