Type Hebrew words spelled in English letters and they turn into Hebrew (עברית) script as you type. For example, shalom olam becomes שאלום ולאם.

This is transliteration (by sound), not translation. Type the Hebrew words themselves in English letters, not an English sentence. Typing an English phrase such as "my name is" only spells those English sounds in Hebrew script, it does not translate the meaning.

About the English to Hebrew Typing

English to Hebrew Typing lets you write Hebrew without a Hebrew keyboard. Type the sounds in English letters and the tool converts them to Hebrew script (עברית), shown right to left as you type.

Letters at the end of a word automatically take their final form, so kaf, mem, nun, pe and tsadi become ך ם ן ף ץ. Two-letter sounds like sh, ch and ts map to single letters.

Everything runs in your browser and stays private. Copy the Hebrew output and paste it wherever you need it.
