About The COTA Project
Goals And Mission
Our mission is to help humanity better understand it's past, preserve it's ancient heritage, and unlock new knowledge that can improve it's future.
We seek to do this by developing technology to help automatically decode and translate ancient writings found in hieroglyphics and manuscripts into a format that is easily accessible and understandable to everyone.
Our Initial Project
Our initial project involves:
- Creating an online, searchable database of digital hieroglyphics with modern English translations
- Creating an English to hieroglyphics translator that is the most accurate of its kind
- Creating a hieroglyphics to English translator through digital analysis
- Developing new image processing algorithms, programs, and methods to facilitate decoding and translation
You can follow updates on our progress by reading our project updates.
