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 mobile app, web translator, and browser extension are all free to start, with no login required. The free plan includes 2,500 characters a month of gender-aware translation, no credit card required. Pro is $12.99 a month or $59.99 a year (about $5 a month) with a free trial (30 days on the app's yearly plan, 7 days on the web), and unlocks voice, camera and PDF translation, and cross-device history. 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? +
You can view your last 100 translations and browse the slang dictionary offline in the mobile app. Creating new translations needs a connection, since the AI runs in the cloud. Traveling? Grab an eSIM before you land.
Can baba translate Hebrew from photos or PDFs? +
Yes. The mobile app translates photos of signs, menus, and screenshots in seconds, and handles full PDFs, both part of Pro. 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. Slang is understood in every translation, and the app ships a dictionary of 140+ real Israeli slang terms.
Does baba have a news product? +
Yes. baba News (news.itsbaba.com) reads 17+ Israeli newsrooms in Hebrew and gives you every story in clear English, live and free, with left, center, and right coverage side by side. Most of those outlets have no English edition. No account needed.
