Features

Transliteration

  • Ashkenazi-style pronunciation
  • Handles all Hebrew letters including sofit (final forms)
  • Shin/Sin distinction (dot right/left)
  • Dagesh handling

    • Gematria

  • Standard Mispar Hechrachi values
  • Supports all Hebrew letters including sofit forms
  • Works with or without nikud

    • Nikud Removal

  • Removes all Hebrew vowel points and cantillation marks
  • Preserves base letters
  • Handles composite characters

    • Letter Names

  • Returns English names for each Hebrew letter
  • Sofit forms identified (e.g., "Mem Sofit")
  • Non-Hebrew characters preserved

    • Hebrew Number Formatting

  • Converts integers to Hebrew letters (Gematria style)
  • Standard abbreviations (e.g., תרי"ג for 613)
  • Range: 1–999

    • Python API

    from scripts.hebrew_tools import transliterate, gematria, remove_nikud
    Transliterate
    
print(transliterate("תורה"))  # "torah"
    Gematria
    
print(gematria("חי"))  # 18
    Remove nikud
    
clean = remove_nikud("בְּרֵאשִׁית")
print(clean)  # "בראשית"

    Limitations

  • Transliteration is Ashkenazi-style; Sephardi variants not yet supported
  • Hebrew number formatting only supports 1–999
  • RTL reversal is basic (word-level, not character-level for mixed text)
