Abstract: The scarcity of machine-readable corpora for Egyptian hieroglyphic texts hinders the digital study of ancient Egyptian texts. Computer-assisted transliteration of the texts will speed up producing such texts and the first step is to find word-boundaries. We present a method for the automatic segmentation of hieroglyphic texts.
