Hebrew into our letters, and back

Two boxes. In the first you paste Hebrew and read it in English letters; in the second you type a name or a word and see it in Hebrew letters. It all happens in your browser.

Hebrew → English letters

With vowel points the reading is exact. Without them, the words the site knows (verbs, roots, names) still read; any other word shows its consonants only, because Hebrew does not write its vowels.
