Desktop focus
Keep the source and draft visible together.
The Mac version is useful when you want space to work through a passage deliberately. The Latin remains available while you annotate, draft, revise, and return to earlier decisions.
That matters because Latin translation is often a chain of dependent choices. If the draft floats away from the source, review becomes harder.
Useful for
Choose Mac for longer or more formal work.
- Class preparation or tutoring sessions.
- Longer homework passages with multiple sentences.
- Reviewing saved work with glosses and tags still attached.
- Comparing a finished draft with optional AI support after analysis.
Method over shortcut
The Mac should support attention, not replace it.
viaFlaminia is intentionally not a black-box translator. It is a place to keep the process organized: sentence focus, vocabulary, morphology, and draft revision in one workspace.

How to begin on Mac
Open a passage, focus the first sentence, and make the grammar visible before drafting. Use the Mac workspace when you want the translation process to remain inspectable.
A larger screen helps most when it preserves the relationship between evidence and draft.
Workspace ruleKeep learning
Use these guides as a method, not a shortcut. The stronger habit is to make each translation decision visible before accepting a final English sentence.
