Google Cloud Translation

Hermeno may use Google Cloud Translation when a supported translation cannot be resolved through the applicable Hermeno dictionary or translation cache.

Google Gemini

Hermeno uses Google Gemini for selected AI-assisted functions such as vocabulary scanning, content enrichment, quiz generation, writing or speaking assistance, and other language-learning workflows where enabled.

AI-generated output may be inaccurate and should be reviewed before reliance.

See the Hermeno AI Notice and Privacy Policy for information about processing and external providers.

Linguistic and public corpora

Hermeno may use linguistic and public corpora to identify or rank vocabulary candidates, lexical properties or frequency information.

The audited dictionary-generation workflow uses lexical information such as lemma, part of speech and frequency-related information rather than republishing corpus passages as Hermeno dictionary definitions or example sentences.

Submitted learning material

Images and text submitted by users remain subject to applicable copyright, database, contractual and other rights.

Hermeno's vocabulary scanner is designed to identify isolated vocabulary candidates from ordinary learning and reading material. Publisher-prepared vocabulary lists, glossaries, word indexes, bilingual vocabulary tables and similar compiled collections are not supported by the scanner.

Users remain responsible for having the rights, permissions or other legal basis required for material they submit.
