HieraticBench

HieraticBench is a publicly available benchmark dataset and evaluation platform designed to measure how well AI models can identify, read, transliterate, and translate ancient Egyptian hieratic script — the cursive handwriting used for thousands of years on papyrus and pottery. It provides sealed, expert-written sentences, a dataset of historical documents and signs, and an open leaderboard to track AI model performance in this rare and complex handwriting recognition task, helping to advance AI capabilities in Egyptology.
