For the duration, you understand the literal meaning of any spoken language that you hear. You also understand any written language that you see, but you must be touching the surface on which the words are written. It takes about 1 minute to read one page of text.

This spell doesn’t decode secret messages in a text or a glyph, such as an arcane sigil, that isn’t part of a written language.

(If you have the Ritual Casting feature, then this spell can be cast at its lowest level as a ritual – if you increase the casting time to 10 minutes, then this spell doesn't use spell slots.)
