2月1日的Ekho应用程序分析

Where do you go if you want to hear what Plato sounded like? Or if you want to listen to a Beowulf recitation like you're a thane in a mead-hall? Ekho is the ancient language streaming app. Home to high-quality audio recordings of Ancient Greek and Old English texts read in historically accurate reconstructed pronunciations. We can't revivify the corpse of Plato or of an Anglo-Saxon scop. But we can bring you the best voice performances of Ancient Greek and Old English literature anywhere on the internet. Featuring the talents of Colin Gorrie, Luke Ranieri, and others from the Ancient Language Institute, Ekho specializes in creating audiobooks of the great texts of the ancient world that are recorded using carefully reconstructed historical pronunciations. The Ekho app uses a simple and beautiful interface to make your experience listening to our audiobooks as pleasant and distraction-free as possible. So crack open a copy of your favorite Ancient Greek or Old English text, turn on the audio, and read along. The Ancient Language Institute exists to aid students in their path to proficiency in ancient languages, to improve the way ancient languages are taught, and to foster a rebirth of the humanistic tradition. We do all of this because, like Cicero, we believe that the ancient authors have left us "images of the bravest of men—not merely for contemplation, but also for imitation." Reading and listening to the ancient authors in their own words is the best way to gaze upon these images. This is the essence of the humanistic tradition. We invite you to come join us.
