Hebrew to English video translator

Well: Hebrew speech into English rated good in our test. The weak spot is names and borrowed words, which the Hebrew transcript is likeliest to misspell, and which the English then has to guess, since Hebrew writes them without vowels.

Names above all. In our speech test, the Hebrew transcript had “מרטלי” right, yet the English subtitle read “Martel” instead of Martelly. Play the video at each name, correct the spelling in the SRT, and the rest of the file can stay as it is.

By English rules. The translation is cut into subtitles of up to 2 lines, about 42 characters each, reading left to right and timed to the Hebrew speech, so they needn’t line up one for one with the Hebrew subtitles.

Each one stays on screen long enough to read at 17 characters a second, and never longer than 7 seconds.

Yes. The Original view holds Hebrew subtitles of the same video, written without vowel points and with a right-to-left mark on every line. Upload them beside the English, and Hebrew speakers and everyone else each get a track they can read.

The Hebrew transcript spells out some abbreviations: ארה"ב, for the United States, came back as “ארצות הברית”.

Hebrew is among the languages NoteOwl understands on a Mac. Import an MP4, let unlimited transcription write it out, and save SRT subtitles with each speaker named. For Hebrew subtitles without translation, try the Hebrew subtitle generator.
