InscriptiFact is computer software for the digital preservation and communication of ancient inscriptions. These inscriptions may be from a variety of physical artifacts, including cave walls, paper scrolls, stone tablets, or clay shards.

One of InscriptiFact's important features is the ability to adjust the light angle and intensity, which can reveal subtle features of the artifacts under scrutiny.

InscriptiFact pioneered the use of Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI), a technology for recording surface textures of 3 dimensional models which was developed by Hewlett-Packard. This technology is particularly critical for documenting objects.
