Frequently Asked Questions
Is Hebrew written from right to left?
Yes, it is! Our online keyboard automatically handles the right-to-left direction, so you can type naturally.
What are the letters at the end of the second row (ך, ף)?
These are 'sofit' or final forms of letters. The letter 'כ' (Kaf) becomes 'ך' at the end of a word, and 'פ' (Pe) becomes 'ף'. Our phonetic mode handles this automatically.
Are there vowels in Hebrew?
The Hebrew alphabet is an 'abjad', which means it's primarily made up of consonants. Vowels are indicated by diacritical marks called 'niqqud', which are usually omitted in modern Hebrew. This keyboard focuses on the main consonants.
How can I type with my regular keyboard?
Enable the 'Phonetic Typing' mode. This lets you type with English letters that correspond to the Hebrew sounds (e.g., typing 'shalom' will produce 'שלום').
What is the apostrophe-like character (') on the keyboard?
That's a 'geresh' (׳). It's used to modify the sound of certain letters to represent foreign sounds, like 'g' in 'George' (ג׳) or 'ch' in 'Charles' (צ׳).
Do capital letters exist in Hebrew?
No, the Hebrew alphabet does not have a distinction between uppercase and lowercase letters.
Why are there two keys for the same sound, like 'כ' and 'ק' for 'k'?
These letters represent different sounds in ancient Hebrew that have since merged in modern pronunciation. They are distinct letters with different spellings, similar to 'c' and 'k' in English.
Can I use this to search for things in Hebrew?
Definitely! Type your search term into the text area, click 'Copy Text', and then paste it into your search engine or any Hebrew website.
How do I type a question mark?
Hebrew uses the same question mark (?) as English. You can use the one on your physical keyboard.
What is the standard keyboard layout in Israel?
The standard layout in Israel is based on the QWERTY layout, but with Hebrew letters assigned to the keys. Our phonetic mode is often easier for non-native speakers to learn.
Why don't the letters connect when I type?
Most modern fonts and text editors automatically handle the cursive connection between Hebrew letters. Our text area supports this, so the letters should connect properly as you type.
Can this keyboard be used for Yiddish?
While Yiddish uses the Hebrew alphabet, it has its own spelling conventions and uses of certain letters. This keyboard is optimized for modern Hebrew, but could be used for Yiddish with some adjustments.
Is it difficult to learn to type in Hebrew?
It can be challenging at first, but our phonetic mode makes it much easier to start. With a little practice, you'll get the hang of it quickly!
How do I type my name in Hebrew?
Use the phonetic mode and type out the sounds of your name. For example, 'David' would be typed as 'd-a-v-i-d' to get 'דוד'.
Do you have to install any special software?
No, our virtual keyboard works entirely within your web browser. There's nothing to install or configure on your computer.
