If not studied as a child, Hebrew is a safa kasha (difficult language). It
is even more so if you want to use it not just for ordinary conversation,
but for praying and for delving into the intricacies of Jewish religious
texts.

Now TES of New York has provided new ways to use Hebrew. The first is for
those who don¹t even know how to read the aleph bet and are unfamiliar with
the vowels ­ but who nevertheless want instantly to pray in Hebrew or read
the Bible or other Jewish texts while reading it in Latin letters. The
powerful automated transliterator program can turn Hebrew, Yiddish or
Aramaic into letters that English and Russian speakers can read, converting
a whole document in seconds or even a whole book in a matter of minutes.
From the start, you can choose between modern Israeli (Sephardi) or
Ashkenazi pronunciation.

The software comes complete with a clip-text library of digital Hebrew books
that includes complete Sephard and Ashkenaz prayer books, the Pentateuch,
all the Books of the Prophets, all five Megillot, the Book of Psalms and the
Passover Haggada. All of that can be transliterated, but if there is any
Hebrew-letter text you want to convert and you don¹t have a Hebrew keyboard
attached to your computer, there is a Hebrew virtual keyboard and a vowel
editor in the program for further text entry and text customization. The
program works with both the Microsoft Word and Dagesh word processing
programs.

If you want to recite the mourner¹s kaddish or a Shabbat song, for example,
simply select the Hebrew text you want. Paste it into the text entry box and
click on the transliterator button. Text can be shown in large fonts for
reading by visually disabled users. It can also be printed out or exported
to the Internet as HTML for long-distance teaching or studying.

Beyond home use, the program will be very helpful to Diaspora synagogues and
Hebrew schools who without it have had to laboriously transliterate Hebrew
text in Latin letters for teaching the Hebrew language and preparing
customized prayer sheets.
