I am again not 100% sure, but i think that… if we are going with bottom to top, then left to right…

Well best case scenario we end up with a bunch of determined symbols that have hopefully unicode equivalents (yes many hieroglyphs are in unicode), or could follow another standard of conversion to latin style characters…

So if you don’t know the language at all, you’d have no idea where to break apart chunks into words.

So… maybe, you could feed that into some kind of a text to text translator.

Tesseract OCR is opensource, but doesn’t appear to support hieroglyphs.

I couldn’t find any online image to text converters that supported hieroglyphs either.

So yeah I tried to do it manually, got frustrated lol.

I guess its worth noting that, as far as i know, egyptian does allow for compound characters that represent combinations of phonemes… and/or convey an entire concept, not as phonemes.

So sometimes, when a glyph element is present or not present, it still means something, just a different something.

But there are a lot of glyphs.
