Don’t waste your money
Doesn’t work. Wrote to the developers, and all they said was that it’s hard to trace properly on a a screen with your finger. Absolute BS.Developer Response
As we told this customer, this App uses AI image recognition and it is about 80% accurate in recognition when tracing accurately.Sounds good.
Sounds like a great app. I’ll be using it to study bilateral and trilateral sound glyphs.

Enjoy this App! For looking at glyphs with transliterated phonetics, you might check out either Hieroglyph Pro, or Universal Hieroglyph Translator apps. They both have extensive lists (read all known!) of the glyphs with phonetic values.Brilliant idea
Utterly unrealised. Cannot even recognise a basic star shape. Really ought not to release until the features work in a basic fashion. No doubt the necessary machine intelligence is difficult but a small fee for a dud app feels expensive.Developer Response
Drawing with a finger on a small screen is difficult but practice achieves good results as demonstrated by more than a dozen beta testers, both Egyptologists and non-professionals. The AI development work is continuing, but even as released, it works extremely well on some glyphs, and admittedly not so well on others. By that I mean some glyphs need a much more accurate tracing to be recognized than most others. The A1 glyph for example is very difficult to trace for recognition but others in the A,B, and C categories are easily recognized at better than 90% accuracy. Patience and practice (in practice mode) is rewarded in this app, not just in more efficient tracing, but in memorizing glyphs by repeated exposure akin to flash cards. Watch the sample videos. If you have trouble with a particular glyph in practice mode, move on to another until you get the knack of tracing. If you can not spare the time to learn the hieroglyphic script with this tracing idiom, please request a refund.
