Apps for Archaeology!

Aviametrix, LLC has created a set of iOS Apps for Archaeologists, students (at all levels) and archaeology Aficionados and Enthusiasts.  

Our offerings include self-contained Translators of Ancient Egyptian, Flash Card Apps to learn Hieroglyphs and Hieratic, and pocket references for the Pharaohs and Queens of Egypt.

These Apps have built-in databases of names and titles, hieroglyphic cartouches, dates, capitals, etc. Because the data is built-in, the Apps  work fine in the field, even in Pyramids and other tombs! They also work fine in museums with little or no Cell data or WiFi.  When internet access is available, the apps link directly to the Wikipedia biographies and to Peter Lundström's excellent Pharaoh.se professional titular & references site.

Our flagship offering is Hieroglyph Pro, now available in both mobile (iOS) and desktop (MacOS) versions. Hieroglyph Pro is a self-contained translator of Ancient Egyptian to English and back. It features several innovative, easy ways to enter glyphs. The App is frequently updated and new features added.

The iOS version of Flashcards has 13 decks of card covering the basic alphabet, through phonograms, logograms, and determinatives, Cartouches of 238 Pharaohs, deities, titles, locations, etc!   We also offer a flashcard app to learn basic Hieratic writing, the everyday form of cursive handwriting.

Hieroglyph Sketch is our latest tool to simplify working with hieroglyphs. This helps identify glyphs from rough tracings. It uses a powerful artificial intelligence engine created by Aviametrix.

Egyptian Art Puzzles is a new game combining action and jigsaw puzzles with over 100 works of Ancient Egyptian art. Both well known and rarely seen artwork is featured. The goal of the game is to get a flying scarab to knock over jars and collect jigsaw pieces until the puzzle is complete.Ascending levels of play gets progressively more challenging with more puzzle pieces, Pyramid obstacles, roving crocodiles, etc.

Translating Ancient Egyptian

Reading the ancient inscriptions of hieroglyphs can take years of practice. Our highly acclaimed App, Hieroglyphics Pro, makes it must simpler! Egyptians used over a thousand glyphs or symbols in their writing during the height of their civilization. Most were used phonetically, like an alphabet, and some as pictures of objects. The App takes a series of glyphs and interactively shows you translations as you enter an inscription. The App can also find the hieroglyphic translation of English words. Hieroglyph Pro was developed in consultation with several leading Egyptologists.

Universal Hieroglyph Translator uses the latest machine learning technology to translate Ancient Egyptian into any of 59 modern languages.

Hieroglyphs Sketch takes a fresh, unique approach to deciphering hieroglyphs. Take a picture of an inscription. Focus in on a glyph. Trace it with your finger (or an Apple Pencil), and the App will use "deep learning" artificial intelligence to identify the glyph. Sketch comes complete with a large Egyptian dictionary to provide mobile translations in real time.

Hieroglyph Flashcards is a fun way to learn, study and review Hieroglyphic symbols. It has 10 decks of cards. For beginners, there is a deck of 22 alphabet cards. For more advanced users, there are decks with hundreds of phonograms, logograms, and determinatives. There are King lists with ads and Cartouches. The App also includes decks with Offering formula phrases and with non-royal titles.

What our happy customers say
I downloaded this app because we live near the Field Museum in Chicago and I wanted to learn more about their Egyptian collection. It's interesting, Informative, and very well organized. The pictures are a real plus. The developer clearly put a lot of work into this app.

I can see how the comprehensive lists of cartouches, mainly given in their horizontal form, might be of use.

... A self contained, searchable database of over 260 kings, from Narmer through Cleopatra VII. Cartouches make it easy to find the name of a king in hieroglyphic inscriptions and this APP helps tofigure out which cartouche represents which historical pharaoh.
