Manetho

A Flutter app that translates ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs into English using a two-model AI pipeline built from scratch. Users capture a hieroglyphic inscription with the camera or upload a photo of a papyrus; a custom-trained YOLOv8 model detects and isolates each hieroglyph (with thresholding, Otsu filtering, and Gaussian blur preprocessing), then a custom NLP API cross-validates and reassembles the extracted symbols into readable English text. Includes user authentication (login/register), instant camera-to-translation with the source image shown alongside the result, and a searchable history of past translations. Built end-to-end in Flutter (Dart), with the detection and translation pipeline trained on a custom hieroglyph dataset
