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”.

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.

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.

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 to start, with no login required. The free plan includes 2,500 characters a month with a free account (1,000 as a guest), no credit card required. Pro is $12.99 a month or $59.99 a year (about $5 a month) with a 7-day free trial, and 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.
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.
