Hebrew subtitle generator

Each line begins with an invisible right-to-left mark. A player that lays lines out left to right then still puts the full stop, comma or question mark on the correct side, even when a line holds digits or Latin letters.

In our Hebrew test layout, all 132 lines began with the mark. You won’t see it, but if you retype a whole line, copy the start of another line so the mark comes with it.

Years and larger figures stay in digits, and a prefix letter joins one with a hyphen, as in ב-1990 or כ-10,000. Abbreviations spoken in full come back in full, so gershayim rarely appear. Latin letters, such as M16, stay as they are inside the Hebrew line.

So the whole video is subtitled in Hebrew letters. When the language is guessed, a short or unclear Hebrew phrase can be read as another language, and that block of subtitles comes out in the wrong language.

For a video that switches between Hebrew and English sentences, the main subtitle generator is the better choice: it decides the language of each short stretch itself.

Names and borrowed words first: they are the likeliest slips. Then read for meaning, because letters that sound alike in modern Hebrew can swap and still make a real-looking word.

Yes. Hebrew is one of the languages NoteOwl understands on your Mac, where it transcribes recordings with unlimited transcription, labels the speakers and saves SRT subtitles with their names. For a Hebrew transcript instead of subtitles, use Hebrew audio to text.
