Hieroglyphics Reader

Point your camera at an inscription. Get the transliteration, an English translation, and audio you can listen to on the spot.

Tips for a good reading

· Fill the frame with the inscription and hold steady.
· Side-light brings carved relief to life — avoid flat overhead glare.
· If it's a long wall, photograph a single column or cartouche at a time.
· Painted reliefs at Dendera, Edfu and KV tombs read best in shade.
