Word-by-Word Translation Aligner

A browser-based tool for linguists and language learners to visually align words between languages, create interlinear glosses, and export bilingual examples. Solves the problem of manual alignment in language learning and linguistic research.

Interlinear glossing has been a pain point in linguistics for decades, and the rise of LLM-based language tools has created fresh demand as researchers and self-taught learners increasingly want structured, annotated data rather than raw translations. No clear incumbent owns this specific niche — ELAN and FLEx exist for professional fieldwork linguists but are desktop-heavy, overkill, and hostile to casual users. The revenue band is genuinely unclear, which is the real concern: linguists are a small professional population, language learners often expect free tools, and the overlap between "wants interlinear glosses" and "will pay monthly for them" is narrow enough that pricing this above $10/month risks killing conversion entirely. The most likely failure mode is that the addressable market is simply too small to sustain recurring revenue, making this more viable as a one-time purchase or freemium tool with an upsell to export formats — not a SaaS.
