Let's use Hieropreter to help us translate Pyramid Text Utt 11 (Spruch 11). Its near the bottom of this image of a page from one of Sethe's book.

One can use Hieropreter to help translate that text.

Have Hieropreter open and another word processor. The word processor can be used to save and organize the words that you find. What I basically do is this:

First find all the Gardiner codes for the text. One can use '?'s for unknown glyphs and ':' or '-' dashes to delimit Gardiner sign-codes. The Gardiner codes for Utt. 11 as one line with no spaces:
S43-I10-M17-N35-W24-X1-N1-W9-G17-F35-V31-G17-F32-W24-Z1-G29-Q3-N35-N35-S34-R11-S40-S29-N35-D58-V30

Paste the above in Hieropreter's text box and hit Egyptian to English.

Try different "Logics" to help you find the words, for example if you pick Top Fit, the best guess is basically straight on.

When you find a word that you agree with, remove the dashes to separate it. For example, we agree with 'Nut' so:

S43-I10-M17-N35 W24-X1-N1 W9-G17-F35-V31-G17-F32-W24-Z1-G29-Q3-N35-N35-S34-R11-S40-S29-N35-D58-V30

Click Egyptian to English again and choose different logics, until we agree with all the words that it found:

S43-I10 M17-N35 W24-X1-N1 W9-G17 F35 V31-G17 F32-W24-Z1 G29 Q3-N35 N35 S34 R11 S40-S29 N35-D58-V30

I usually remove the words that I agree with and paste them in the word processor until all the words are found and translated:

S43-I10     md   to say
M17-N35     in   by
W24-X1-N1   nwt  Nut
W9-G17      Xnm  united with 
F35         nfr  beautiful
V31-G17     km   like
F32-W24-Z1  Xnw  inside
G29	    bA   soul
Q3-N35	    pn   this
N35	    n	 of
S34	    anx  life
R11	    Dd   endurance
S40-S29     wAs  prosperity
N35-D58-V30 nbnb preservation

For texts, I recommend splitting it up by words that you can pick out (e.g. cartouches) and feed phrases (chunks of hieroglyph sequences) to Hieropreter to get better results.

By the way, you can mix MdC "words" with Gardiner code "words" for example: md in nwt Xnm nfr km F32-W24-Z1 G29 pn n S34 R11 S40-S29 N35-D58-V30

And you can also mix MdC "letters" with Gardiner code "letters":
nw-X1-N1 (Goddess Nut)
Although sometimes Hieropreter has a harder time with this.

Its interesting to note that the phrase:

  S40-S29     wAs  prosperity
  N35-D58-V30 nbnb preservation
could be split up as:
  S40         wAs dominion
  S29-N35-D58 snb health
  V30         nb  every

I do consult my books to resolve conflicts.
For example: F32-W24-Z1
The Z1 means that W24 should just mean a bowl. But from consulting Gardiner's Grammer apparently F32-W24-Z1 is a figure of speech meaning 'inside'.

Also I think the original text given has a spelling error: S43-I10 should be I10-S43.

I recomment these books: Gardiner's Grammer, Faulkner's dictionary and Collier and Manley's How to Read Egyptian to name a few.

Please see "Manuel de Codage" by by Hans van den Berg for more information on Manuel de Codage. Jim Loy's page can help with Gardiner code mappings.
