01

Gender-Aware Hebrew

Tell baba who is speaking and who they're speaking to, and the Hebrew morphology changes with it - no more defaulting to masculine singular.

02

Tone and Slang

Seven real registers from formal to flirting, backed by a curated street-Hebrew dictionary with a slang word pushed daily.

03

Camera Translation

Freeze a menu, form, or sign and read it translated in place - including a parking-sign mode that tells you what it means for you right now.

04

Full Documents

PDFs, Word files, and slide decks translate as background jobs that notify you when they finish.

05

Voice Both Ways

Dictate in, hear Hebrew spoken back in male or female voices, and read the transliteration under every result.

06

Reply Drafts and Live Mode

Paste a Hebrew message and get replies you could actually send - or run a live two-person spoken conversation.
