Transcribe Hebrew audio with WhisperAI
WhisperAI transcribes Hebrew (עברית) audio for the around 9 million speakers, primarily in Israel who use the language across Israel, with diaspora communities worldwide. Built on OpenAI Whisper and tuned for the realities of Hebrew speech, the service produces publication-grade transcripts in Hebrew abjad, written right-to-left.
Right-to-left output and the niqqud question
Modern Hebrew is normally written without niqqud (vowel pointing), which means correct word identification depends on context — the same consonant string can read several ways. Whisper produces unpointed Hebrew text with right-to-left rendering and correct word choice from context, which is what publication and business contexts in Israel actually use.
Modern Israeli Hebrew with Ashkenazi and Mizrahi accent variations is supported, with native right-to-left script output.
