Vesuvius Challenge has been quietly making a lot of progress; we read a full scroll, developed a new unwrapping algorithm with a global spiral prior, and we just launched a new $1M grand prize for reading one of the scrolls we've scanned.

There are also 10 $50k prizes available for finding text in a scroll we haven't found text in before, plus monthly progress prizes.

Join the discord!
