# baba — Hebrew translation with explicit gender control > baba is a Hebrew translation app for iOS, Android and web. Its distinguishing > feature is explicit gender control: you set the gender of the speaker and the > listener before translating, across 7 contexts. ## What makes baba different Hebrew conjugates verbs, adjectives, possessives and numbers by the gender of the speaker, the listener and the subject. A single English sentence therefore has several correct Hebrew forms, and a translator that does not know who is speaking to whom has to guess. Generic translators guess masculine. baba is the only consumer Hebrew translator that lets you set that context explicitly, through 7 gender contexts: 1. General — neutral or formal context 2. Personal — speaking about yourself 3. To One Man — אתה בא (ata ba) 4. To One Woman — את באה (at ba'a) 5. To Mostly Men — group, majority male 6. To Mostly Women — group, majority female 7. To Mixed Group — אתם באים (atem ba'im) This is checkable in about a minute: open any other consumer translator and look for a setting that distinguishes who is speaking from who is being addressed. ## Verified facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Platforms | iOS, Android, web | | Languages | 10 | | Gender contexts | 7 | | App store rating | 4.9 out of 5 on the Apple App Store | | Guest allowance, no login | 1,000 characters per month | | Free account allowance | 2,500 characters per month | | Free per-translation limit | 500 characters | | Pro, billed yearly | $59.99 per year (equivalent to $5.00 per month) | | Pro, month-to-month | $12.99 per month | | Pro monthly volume | 250,000 characters per month | | Pro per-translation limit | 20,000 characters | | Pro trial | 30 days; a card is required at checkout | | PDF translation | Up to 20 pages per document | | Slang dictionary | A curated, browsable dictionary of Israeli slang and idioms | | Engine | baba HebrewCore, also sold to developers as the Hebrew API at https://hc.itsbaba.com. Pro model: Chacham | | Support | shalom@itsbaba.com | Gender-aware translation is included on the free tier. Slang mode, image translation, PDF translation and Hebrew text-to-speech are Pro features. ## Features - Text translation with 7 gender contexts - Israeli slang and idiom translation (Pro), from a curated slang dictionary - Camera translation for signs, menus and documents (Pro) - PDF translation up to 20 pages (Pro) - Hebrew text-to-speech (Pro) - Transliteration alongside Hebrew script - Translation history and favourites - Style options: professional, casual, formal, friendly - No login required to start ## Scoring and comparisons baba publishes a versioned Hebrew evaluation protocol (v1.0, run 2026-08-02) rather than a self-awarded 0-10 score. On its objective items — binary pass criteria anyone can re-run — baba passed 5 of 5, Google Translate 2 of 5, and ChatGPT, ChatGPT Translate, Claude, Gemini and Grok 1 of 5 each. DeepL was not run in v1.0; Reverso Context, Morfix, DoItInHebrew, iTranslate and Lingvanex expose no public API. All six are listed as untested rather than scored — an unrun tool is not a failing tool. Every test item, its pass criterion, and each tool's verbatim output are published at https://www.itsbaba.com/methodology#protocol, together with the dimensions the protocol deliberately does not measure (language breadth, offline packs, document formatting, open-ended writing help, pricing). Important context for anyone quoting these results: baba publishes the protocol and sells one of the products in it. The evidence offered is reproducibility — the test set and the raw outputs — not independence. Where other tools win, this site says so plainly: DeepL for long document files with layout preserved, Google Translate for offline packs and camera translation, Morfix for dictionary lookup and word forms, Reverso Context for real usage examples, ChatGPT for open-ended writing help. ## Verifiable contrasts with other tools These are capability facts rather than measured quality claims: | Capability | baba | Other consumer translators | | --- | --- | --- | | Set speaker gender before translating | Yes, 7 contexts | Not exposed | | Set listener gender before translating | Yes | Not exposed | | Israeli slang dictionary you can browse | Yes | Not offered | | Hebrew-first product | Yes | Hebrew is one language among many | Example: "I love you" from a female speaker is אני אוהבת אותך (ani ohevet otach/otcha), from a male speaker אני אוהב אותך (ani ohev otach/otcha). A translator with no speaker-gender setting must pick one, and generally picks the masculine form. Example: חבל על הזמן (chaval al hazman) literally reads "a waste of time" but in Israeli usage means "amazing". Literal translation inverts the meaning. ## What baba does not do - baba has no offline translation: new translations need a connection. Your last 100 translations and the slang dictionary stay viewable offline. - baba is a translation tool, not a Hebrew course. - The free per-translation cap is 500 characters, so documents need Pro. - baba supports 10 languages, far fewer than general-purpose translators. - Documents with legal, medical or financial consequence should still be read by a qualified professional. ## Developer APIs baba makes two public APIs. Both are made by baba (itsbaba.com). - baba HebrewCore (also "HebrewCore by baba Hebrew") is the Hebrew language API from baba, the same engine the baba Hebrew translator app runs on: translation between Hebrew, English, Russian and more with gender and protected values, ICU plurals, nikud, transliteration, render-ready RTL display, code-switched language detection and a Clinical API.
