Welcome
to Hieroglyphs AI, the app designed to help you translate ancient
Egyptian inscriptions and texts of the Classical period. Our app is
based on cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies that use
Deep Learning neural networks to recognize hieroglyphs accurately.
Whether
you're a tourist visiting Egypt or a museum-goer, a learner of the
ancient Egyptian language, or an expert in reading ancient Egyptian
texts, Hieroglyphs AI can be a powerful tool in your hands.
Learning
the ancient Egyptian language can be a daunting task, mainly because of
the vast number of signs that must be memorized. Even professional
Egyptologists may forget the meaning of a hieroglyphic character from
time to time, leading to long searches in lists based on Alan Gardiner's
classification. For beginners, this search can be time-consuming, and
for casual learners, it can be overwhelming. But with Hieroglyphs AI,
you can identify hieroglyphic characters in books, on steles, or on
temple walls quickly.
Here's how the app works:
• The app shows the code in Gardiner's list of Egyptian hieroglyphs and any phonetic meanings associated with the character.
• You can search for recognized hieroglyphs in the built-in Ancient Egyptian dictionary (Mark Vygus 2018).
• Knowing the code or phonetic meaning of a hieroglyphic sign, you can
find additional information in Gardiner's list of Egyptian hieroglyphs,
search for words with the character in electronic dictionaries and word
lists, and even search the Internet for phonetic meanings.
• The app features a zoom function and a viewfinder to ensure accurate recognition of hieroglyphic signs.
To use the app, you can either utilize your smartphone's camera or upload images from your gallery. Here's how it works:
Camera
Usage: Simply position the viewfinder over the hieroglyph you want to
recognize. Adjust the zoom if needed or adjust the distance between your
phone and the object to ensure the hieroglyph fits within the
viewfinder's frame. Then, tap the camera button located at the bottom of
the screen.
Gallery Upload: Alternatively, you can select an
image from your gallery by accessing the gallery menu. Choose the
desired image containing the hieroglyph you want to recognize.
In
both cases, once the image is processed, you will see a panel
displaying the main recognition results. This includes the selected
portion of the image with the hieroglyphic sign, the character
identified by the program in a standard font, the code of the hieroglyph
according to Gardiner's list of Egyptian hieroglyphs, and the
probability of the sign being recognized. If the hieroglyphic sign has
phonetic values associated with it, you can view them by clicking the
downward arrow.
Other features of the app include the ability to
work without an Internet connection, Dark theme support, and no
registration or login required. Your data stays on your device and won't
be sent anywhere, ensuring your privacy.
