Hebrew keyboard online, with niqqud
Type Hebrew with your mouse or your normal keyboard, even on a computer with no Hebrew installed. It has vowel marks, symbols, one-click copy and finger colors for touch typing.
Want to type without looking at the keyboard?
The keyboard here uses the same colors as our touch typing course. Start from the home row, and within a few weeks of ten minutes a day you can type twice as fast without taking your eyes off the screen.
How to use the Hebrew keyboard
Click the keys with your mouse or finger, or simply type on your computer keyboard. When "Hebrew" is selected and your computer is set to English, every key writes the Hebrew letter printed on it on an Israeli keyboard. That lets you write Hebrew on any computer without installing a language. The key you press lights up on screen, which helps you learn where each letter lives.
The niqqud (vowel marks) sit under the keyboard: type a letter and click a mark, and it attaches to the letter before the cursor. There is also shuruk and full holam in one click, and symbols that a regular keyboard does not have, such as ₪, a real geresh and gershayim, and the Hebrew maqaf.
With finger colors on, every key is tinted by the finger that should press it in touch typing, and after each press the page tells you which finger to use. Below the text you also see your typing speed in words per minute. Hebrew is written right to left, so the text box switches direction automatically.
Frequently asked questions
I do not have Hebrew on my computer. Can I still type Hebrew here?
Yes. Choose "Hebrew" and type on your normal keyboard: each key writes the Hebrew letter printed on it on an Israeli keyboard. For example, A types ש (shin) and T types א (alef). Nothing needs to be installed, so it works on a library, school or work computer too.
How do I add niqqud (vowel marks)?
Type a letter, then click the vowel mark you want under the keyboard. The mark attaches to the letter before the cursor. You can add several marks to one letter, for example a dagesh and a kamatz. The "Remove niqqud" button strips all vowel marks from the text.
Which key types the final letters ך ם ן ף ץ?
They have their own keys on the Hebrew keyboard: ך is on L, ם on O, ן on I, ף on the semicolon key and ץ on the period key. The little Latin letters printed on each key show you where everything is.
What are the finger colors?
In touch typing every key belongs to one finger. With finger colors on, each key is tinted in the color of its finger, and after every key press the page tells you which finger should have pressed it. It is the same coloring as our touch typing course.
Is my text saved?
Your text is kept only in this browser so you do not lose it if you close the page. It is not sent anywhere. The "Clear" button deletes it.
How do I switch languages on my own computer keyboard?
On Windows press Alt+Shift or the Windows key + Space. On a Mac press Control+Space. On a phone, tap the globe icon or swipe across the space bar. You can also just use this page and skip installing a language.
