Egyptian hieroglyphs, the ancient Egyptian writing system, are composed entirely of drawings. Translating these glyphs into English poses various challenges, including the fact that a single glyph can have multiple meanings. Deep learning translation applications are evolving rapidly, producing remarkable results that significantly impact our lives. In this research, we propose a method for the automatic recognition and translation of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs from images to English. This study utilized two datasets for classification and translation: the Morris Franken dataset and the EgyptianTranslation dataset. Our approach is divided into three stages: segmentation (using Contour and Detectron2), mapping symbols to Gardiner codes, and translation (using the CNN model). The model achieved a BLEU score of 42.2, a significant result compared to previous research.

Google on Wednesday announced the launch of an online tool that uses artificial intelligence to decode and translate Egyptian hieroglyphics. The tool -- called fabricius -- will be useful for presenting an interactive experiment to globalists to help them learn hieroglyphics more efficiently. It will also help increase Egyptologists' awareness of the history and heritage of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The tool was made available on the Google Arts and Culture platform, which allows users to learn about arts and cultural artifacts from roughly 2,000 cultural institutions worldwide. The tool uses machine learning to ease the collection, indexing and understanding of hieroglyphic symbols. The tool to help Egyptologists translate hieroglyphics into English is now available, with the Arabic tool set to unveil soon.

Google has launched a hieroglyphics translator that uses AI to decipher images of Ancient Egyptian script. The new tool, called Fabricius, uses machine learning to give experts a fast way to decode hieroglyphics by uploading their files. But the tool is available to non-experts as a fun and interactive way to learn about and write in the ancient language. Anyone can type in messages and be provided with an instant hieroglyphic equivalent to share on social media. Users can also draw their own best attempt at an ancient hieroglyphic and see if Google's machine learning technology can identify it from its database of hieroglyphs. The tool aims to'help bring people closer to ancient Egyptian heritage and culture' and highlight the importance of the preserving hieroglyphics as a language.
