About Hieroglyph Pro

Read and understand Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs with a professional-grade dictionary and translation tool used by students, researchers, and Egyptologists. This powerful App is simply the best interactive, most complete, self contained dictionary and translator between English and Ancient Egyptian! Our dictionary is vetted against modern professional references, including the popular online Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae, and standard references including Hannig, and the Worterbuch. Hieroglyphics Pro has been developed and evolved in consultation with professional Egyptologists. This app explains what the ancient symbols mean, how they may have been pronounced and how they formed words and phrases.  The App contains: - 4282 hieroglyphic signs - 224,587words, phrases, titles, epithets, and locations used in Ancient Egypt.  - The Horus, Birth, and Throne names of all the known Pharaohs and Queens of Egypt. Our dictionary has almost triple the content of any other smartphone dictionary/translation apps. Hieroglyphics Pro has several modes:  - Beginner mode simplifies the App with a minimal set of 200 glyphs for easy searching and an easy pronunciation guide.  - Student mode show the standard Middle Egyptian Gardiner set of about 700 glyphs, organized by shape, and standard transliteration.  - Pro mode uses all 1,071 glyphs in Gardiner's classic categories plus more than 3200 additional signs used in the dictionary.   A unique, powerful feature of Hieroglyphics Pro is the ability to find glyphs by how often they are used in inscriptions. This makes adding common signs to a phrase or word a snap!  Egyptian words and phrases in the dictionary are drawn graphically in quadrat groups, in the artistic style of the ancient inscriptions. The App offers 6 ways to enter Hieroglyphs for translation:   • Graphically from Gardiner groupings, or in Beginner Mode, plus Gardiner's/Manley's Groupings by shape - A unique feature allows finding glyphs sorted by their frequency of use! • Direct keyboard text entry of Gardiner codes (i.e., A1, D21, Aa2) • Typing in phonetic shortcuts as defined by the MdC (i.e., Htp, nTr, r, etc.) • By transliteration symbol from the Phonetic shortcuts table • Searching for keywords in a glyph's description or determinative words Text entries of Gardiner Codes and MdC can now be edited with a cursor and finger swiping, just like other text editing apps! Very quick and convenient! Egyptians wrote Right to Left, Left to Right, and Top to Bottom. The App allows you to enter Left to Right, and then view the Glyphs in reverse direction if you wish. HieroglyphPro allows you to add/store/transmit their own custom words to the dictionary. Hieroglyph Pro is the first and only mobile App to introduce Hieratic (a style of cursive, handwritten Egyptian) glyphs, and illustrate how they evolved over the centuries. Hieroglyphics Pro is a modern iOS 27 App, back compatible back to iOS 18, Dark Mode and all. It contains help files and links to both on-line references and to printed books for advanced study. The app and its dictionary data are entirely self-contained. No internet or cell phone required. The new optional link to the Thesaurus-Linguae-Aegyptiae (TLA) academic database does, however, require wifi or cell connection. When you have found the translation your were seeking, with a tap it is copied on to the clipboard and can be pasted into another App, an Email, message, etc. Hieroglyph Pro is a one-time purchase! No ads! No subscriptions!
