This program allows users to annotate images of cunei-form artifacts by single or multiple characters. These annotations can be saved and reopened with the images, conserving the transliterations digitally.
Listed here are the fundamental functionalities of the program that will be extended over time. The current program includes:
- selecting signs by drawing custom rectangles
- annotating the rectangles with custom labels or pre loaded transliterations
- labels show up in a text file adjusted to the position of the rectangle
- annotations can be converted into cunei-form signs. (Currently only Neo-Assyrian)
- Rectangles can be moved around after creation
- Rectangles can be deleted
- Save picture together with annotations
- Start by loading an image of an artifact or drawing of an artifact.
- Draw a rectangle around the sign or signs you want to transliterate.
- Add a label.
- The label appears in the correct line of the text file on the right side.
- Convert the transliteration into Cunei-Form signs.
- save the picture inclusing the annotations.
To extend the functionality of the program there already planned additions. A few of these include:
- custom line annotation
- Support for Neo-Babylonian, Old-Babylonian and Hittite signs
- size-adjustable rectangles
- searchable sign dictionary by types of lines if sign in picture is not known.
- If cuneiform-sign is not know, search for suggestions by specifying the number of radicals.
- Custom keyboard for special signs
- Copy annotations for the same signs
Basic program functionality present. Currently working on new features and smoother workflow...
