What to study
The set's only text-input screen, and the missing half of the translation loop: the journal pages record what glyphs mean and the dialogue bubbles show translations arriving, but this is where the player types one in, with a full keyboard, an input bar with a cursor and a confirm check. The earlier inscription frames at 14.5s and 14.8s were rejected as soft mid-zoom shots; at 15.1s the keyboard settles sharp and legible, so this frame, not the zoom, carries the coverage. Frame at 15.1s in the Launch Trailer (Steam; second-pass extraction sp-launch-inscription-15.1.png), inspected at full resolution (1920x1080); no trailer text or marketing overlay in frame. 16x16 average-hash distance to the nearest existing Chants of Sennaar keeper 81/256, no near-duplicate.

- a black on-screen keyboard overlay covers the lower half of the frame: a symbol row, three QWERTY letter rows with Q outlined in white, and a bottom row with shift, space, arrow keys, backspace and a check mark
- above the keyboard, a black input bar carries a glyph icon at the left, an empty text field with a cursor, and a clear button at the right
- behind the overlay, dimmed, sits the parchment inscription with its glyphs and the honeycomb of empty glyph slots at the right
- a small circular inset at the top center repeats the inscription with its translation bubble
