Nikud - Yiddish Tools

1

Paste plain text, get pointed text

Open Nikud. Paste or type unpointed Yiddish (or Hebrew) into the left pane; the fully vocalized text appears on the right as you type, ready to copy. Nothing else to set.

It knows which words are Yiddish and which are Hebrew

Yiddish text is full of Hebrew phrases — a blessing, a title, a quotation. The model decides word by word which language each word belongs to and points it accordingly, so an embedded Hebrew phrase gets its Hebrew vowels while the Yiddish around it stays Yiddish. A “detected:” badge shows what the text as a whole was recognized as.

Reviewed common words are pointed from a curated list; ambiguous ones are left to the model with full context. Only vowel marks are added — your letters are never changed, and stray cantillation marks are cleaned away.

Fix a word, and (if you like) share the fix

In the Speak tool, every word of a reading can be re-pointed by hand with a small per-letter editor. When you correct one, the app offers to send the correction — just that word, a few words around it, and the app version — to help improve the model for everyone. Choose Send, Not now, Always send, or Never ask; the setting lives under Settings → Output.

Offline, and only what you choose to share

Adding nikud never needs the internet. The only thing that ever leaves your computer is a correction you explicitly chose to send.

Where else nikud shows up
- Speak needs it: the voice reads pointed text, so nikud is added automatically before anything is spoken. Own Nikud to use Speak.
- Select text in any program and press F8 — pick “Nikud” in the picker and it is pointed on the spot.
- AI assistants connected to the app get a nikud tool with automatic, forced-Yiddish and forced-Hebrew modes.
