Kevilex: An online Ancient Greek reading platform

Next in my series of things to share and tell you I’m excited about, Kevilex.

(Just to be clear, this post is in no way sponsored by Kevilex. I just appreciate it so much I decided to tell you about it all).

So excited, I made a whole video about it, which you can watch below. But here’s my shorter, less rambling, text-version. Kevilex is an online reading platform for Ancient Greek, which has various ancient Greek texts on it, chunked up appropriately, and you can bring up a particular passage, it will provide parsing and lexical information upon clicking a word, and perhaps most importantly, it tracks the vocabulary you are learning or know. Which allows you to see at a glance what you know and don’t know, and can guide you to pick new texts or passages to tackle, based on how much you know already.

It includes an integrated flashcard function, similar to Anki, that will let you do spaced-repetition recall on words you are learning. It also has the functionality to import new Greek texts, if what’s already up there isn’t what you’re learning/reading.

There are a few other interfaces online for reading Greek texts, but this is one that has really caught my interest. It has a UI that I think is easy to navigate, pleasing to use, and its features are the ones I’ve really always wanted in such a platform. I’m using it regularly now in my own reading, and plan to for some time.

So go and check it out, see if it works well for you, and consider supporting it financially if you are able as well.
