About LokalText

LokalText exists for a narrow, specific moment: the day or two after a death, when someone who is grieving also has to find the words — for a newspaper notice, for a room full of people at a service, or both — and there usually isn't much time to find them.

We built LokalText to make that moment a little easier. Answer a handful of direct questions about the person you lost — their name, their work, a memory that was really theirs — and get back a complete, respectful first draft: a eulogy to read aloud, an obituary to publish, or both. You edit it, add the detail only you would know, and make it yours. The tool handles structure and phrasing so you don't have to build both from a blank page while everything else is happening at once.

Why five languages

Grief and the customs around it are shaped by language and place. A eulogy that reads naturally in English doesn't automatically read naturally translated into French or German — the conventions, the register, even what's considered appropriate to say, differ. LokalText writes natively in English, Spanish, French, Italian, and German, rather than generating in one language and translating afterward.

What we believe

A generated draft should never replace your own voice — it should give you somewhere to start when starting is the hardest part. We keep the tool free to try, keep what you enter private, and keep the output editable without limit, because grief doesn't move at the pace of a subscription plan.
