The difference

Most translators retrofit Hebrew. We started with it.

Generic translator
literal
“She told me to break a leg before the audition.”
היא אמרה לי לשבור רגל לפני האודישן
× Translates the idiom literally — the listener will think you injured yourself.
“I’m proud of you, sis.”
אני גאה בך, אחות
× Defaults to masculine speaker; reads stiff and textbook-formal.
baba
context-aware
“She told me to break a leg before the audition.”
היא איחלה לי בהצלחה לפני האודישן
✓ Understands the idiom — translates the meaning, not the words.
“I’m proud of you, sis.”
אני ממש גאה בך, אחותי
✓Female speaker, sister-to-sister warmth, with the natural Israeli “ממש”.

Built for Hebrew, not translated from English

Three principles, no compromises.

01

Gender-aware by default

Hebrew has gendered verbs, nouns, adjectives, and pronouns. baba handles them all — pick speaker and listener gender and the translation adapts. Every other translator falls back to masculine defaults.

זכר · נקבה · רבים
02

Slang & cultural context

Trained on real Israeli Hebrew — street phrases, WhatsApp tone, idioms, cultural references. No more awkward literal translations that make you sound like a textbook.

From the people who finally sound like themselves.

“
baba finally translates Hebrew the way people actually speak. It understands slang, context, and gender — so I don’t sound like a scholar from 1820. Lightning fast and now essential for my comedy and everyday conversations.

Questions

Everything you might wonder.

Is baba free to use? +
Yes — the web translator, mobile apps, and browser extension are all free. baba Pro adds cross-device sync, translation history, and advanced slang mode. Enterprise pricing is custom.
How is baba different from Google Translate? +
Google Translate retrofits Hebrew onto a model trained primarily on European languages. baba was designed around Hebrew from day one — gender-aware verbs, real Israeli slang, and context-sensitive phrasing.
Does baba work offline? +
The mobile app supports offline mode for short translations once you’ve installed an offline language pack. Long-form translations and streaming require a connection.
Can baba translate Hebrew from photos or PDFs? +
Yes. The mobile app translates from your camera in real-time. The web app supports PDF, DOCX, and image upload. Enterprise customers get bulk document endpoints.
Does baba handle Hebrew slang and idioms? +
That’s the point. Our model is trained on contemporary Israeli Hebrew — WhatsApp messages, news comments, and dialogue from Israeli media. Toggle Slang Mode for the most casual register.

Speak Hebrew like
you mean it.
