Three principles, no compromises.
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.
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.
Private by design
Anonymous translation requires no account. Signed-in history is end-to-end encrypted. We don’t sell data and we’re not ad-supported.
