This document describes the work on the development of a semi-automatic hieroglyphic recognition system which uses neural network techniques. This system is developed for the HORUS project which is a cooperation between Nicola Whitehead, Nick Capanni and Stuart Watt. The necessary steps to create this system was to take an image in converting it to some grid and sending that on to a neural network which is the recognition part of the system. It is anticipated that this work will contribute towards the development of the HORUS project.
