Mētrŭm

설명

Mētrŭm scans Latin verse the way classical prosody asks of it. Type or paste a line and it walks the verse, weighs each syllable long against short, finds the feet, marks elision, and surfaces the caesura — then tells you how the line scans against the metre. It handles dactylic hexameter, pentameter, and the elegiac couplet (a hexameter followed by a pentameter) — the metres of Vergil, Ovid, Lucretius, Catullus, Tibullus, and Propertius. Choose a metre, or let Mētrŭm auto-detect it. GROUNDED IN A DICTIONARY, NOT JUST THE METRE Most tools assume the metre and read the syllable lengths back from it. Mētrŭm works the other way round: it resolves each vowel's length from its built-in Latin dictionary, from diphthongs, and from syllable position first, then marks anything it could only deduce from the metre. Every line carries a metre-fit label and a clear split between established and inferred quantities — so you can see exactly what the reading rests on. WHAT YOU SEE • Long and short marks set directly on each vowel • Feet, caesura, and elision marked in the line • A compact legend: long · short · foot · caesura · elision • Your original spelling, capitalisation, and punctuation preserved — nothing invented • A "How did it scan this?" explanation for every line • A curated set of demo verses to explore WORKS OFFLINE, COLLECTS NOTHING The whole app runs on your device. No account, no sign-up, no network round-trip in normal use, no analytics, no tracking. Nothing you type leaves your device. NINE LANGUAGES Interface available in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. A LONG STORY Mētrŭm descends from a program its author wrote in 1980, at age fifteen, in BASIC on a TRS-80 — a project that won first prize in a programming contest. Four decades later it is a modern app for the phone in your pocket.
