How do you transcribe Hebrew audio to text?
Upload your Hebrew recording to 1Transcribe and OpenAI's Whisper models return an accurate Hebrew transcript — written right-to-left in Hebrew script, with automatic speaker labels — or translate the Hebrew speech directly into English text in one step. Files under 5 minutes are free with no signup; a subscription covers single files up to 10 hours and 5 GB.
Hebrew speech recognition that actually works
Hebrew has long been underserved by transcription tools: written Hebrew omits most vowels, modern Israeli speech is fast and full of contractions and borrowed words, and many speech engines simply never supported the language well. OpenAI's Whisper changed that — Hebrew is one of the languages it handles well, and 1Transcribe runs Whisper's latest models to transcribe Modern Hebrew accurately, from formal lectures to rapid everyday conversation.
Automatic language detection recognizes Hebrew on upload, so there is nothing to configure.
Right-to-left text, handled correctly
A Hebrew transcript is only useful if the text renders properly, and right-to-left scripts are where many tools break — reversed words, scrambled punctuation, mixed-direction chaos when English names appear mid-sentence. 1Transcribe outputs Hebrew as proper right-to-left text and keeps it correct in every export: DOCX, PDF, TXT, and SRT subtitles all preserve the RTL direction, so the document opens correctly in Word and subtitle files display properly in video players.
Transcribe in Hebrew, or translate to English
Both directions are one upload away:
- Hebrew transcript — verbatim Hebrew text with speaker labels and timestamps, for readers of Hebrew and for record-keeping in the original language.
- English translation — Whisper translates Hebrew speech directly into English text in a single step, so a researcher, family member, or colleague who does not read Hebrew gets a usable English document.
- AI summary — condense a long shiur, lecture, or meeting into its key points.
Lectures, interviews, and voice notes in Hebrew
Typical uploads: recorded university lectures and Torah classes, research interviews with Israeli sources, startup meetings mixing Hebrew and English terms, and WhatsApp voice notes from family in Israel — WhatsApp's OPUS files upload directly, and notes under 5 minutes are free. Single files up to 10 hours and 5 GB are supported with automatic speaker diarization, and accuracy reaches up to 99.9% on clear audio. Files are never used to train AI models and are deleted after 14 days.
