# Hebrish · עבריש

**Dictation that gets the Hebrew words right.**

Ordinary dictation hears *makolet* and writes "Micollette". Hebrish writes the Hebrew word.

Hebrish improves ASR accuracy for code-switched English–Hebrew, for English-speaking immigrants in Israel and users throughout the Jewish world. It is a one-person, not-for-profit project by Daniel Rosehill, and its models and data are open.

- **Models:** [Sabich](https://huggingface.co/Hebrish/Sabich) (recommended in the apps: code-switching plus tech vocabulary) and [Jachnun](https://huggingface.co/Hebrish/Jachnun) (code-switching), Parakeet TDT 0.6B v2 fine-tunes (with GGUF, ONNX, sherpa-onnx and MLX builds); Shakshuka, an experimental Nemotron streaming fine-tune; Whisper-Hebrish; and a [token classifier](https://huggingface.co/Hebrish/Hebrew-Latin-Token-Classifier) for romanized Hebrew.
- **Data:** read-aloud code-switching sentences and a frozen benchmark, scored by Hebrew-term recall on a clean subset. Results: [hebrish.app/benchmarks](https://hebrish.app/benchmarks).
- **Apps:** [Hebrish](https://github.com/Hebrish-ASR/Hebrish-App) runs the models on-device on Android, Linux and Windows.

Everything in one place, including repos still on Daniel's personal account: [the Hebrish collection](https://huggingface.co/collections/Hebrish/hebrish-english-hebrew-code-switching-6ad6143c7de198780425709f).
