Hebrew subtitles
Translate video to Hebrew with the subtitles built in
Upload a video in any language, pick Hebrew (עברית), and download it with the subtitles burned in. Hebrew leaves most vowels out of writing, so lines are usually shorter than the English they came from.
What you get back
- Your video as an MP4 with the Hebrew subtitles burned into the picture, so they play everywhere without a separate file.
- A Hebrew SRT file you can upload wherever soft subtitles are supported.
- An SRT in the original spoken language, so you have both sides of the translation.
- Plain TXT transcripts of both, for show notes, blog posts, or search.

What is different about Hebrew subtitles
Hebrew leaves most vowels out of writing, so lines are usually shorter than the English they came from.
- Hebrew runs right to left, so the line starts at the right edge. Latin brand names, numbers, and URLs inside a Hebrew line still run left to right, and the two directions have to be resolved correctly or the words arrive in the wrong order.
- Vowel points are omitted in ordinary writing. Subtitles follow that convention, which is what a Hebrew reader expects.
- Five letters take a different form at the end of a word. A renderer that ignores those final forms produces text that reads as broken.
- Punctuation sits on the opposite side from English. An opening parenthesis in a right-to-left line appears where a closing one would sit in an English line.
Formality in Hebrew
Hebrew has no separate formal pronoun, so the same form works for every audience.

Can I get Hebrew subtitles on a video that is not in Hebrew?
Yes, that is the normal case. The speech is transcribed in whatever language it was spoken, and the transcript is translated into Hebrew. You do not have to tell it what the source language is.
Do I get a Hebrew subtitle file as well as the video?
Yes. Every job returns the video with subtitles burned in, plus SRT and TXT files for both the original language and Hebrew, so you can reuse the Hebrew text elsewhere.
Will Hebrew characters render correctly in the video?
Yes. Subtitles are burned into the picture after the text has been shaped and laid out, so what you see in the editor is what ends up in the MP4. Right-to-left lines are laid out correctly.
Can I fix the Hebrew wording before I download?
Yes, on the Pro and Studio plans. You can edit the text and timings in the subtitle editor, trim the clip, and reburn before downloading.
