Frequently asked questions about real-time Hebrew lecture transcription

Is Hebrew hard to transcribe accurately in an academic setting?
It can be. Hebrew has 9 million speakers — mostly in Israel — and academic speech varies significantly from everyday Hebrew: fast delivery, domain-specific terminology, acronyms, and professors who rarely pause for clarity. Most transcription apps are trained on clean, slow speech and struggle in real classrooms. Soniox App is trained on real-world Hebrew audio, including academic contexts, so it handles how the language is actually used in lectures.
Will it work in a big Hebrew lecture hall?
Yes. Soniox is designed for real-world audio and handles echo, background noise, and distance better than other tools — including large Hebrew-speaking classrooms.
Can I use Soniox during live Hebrew Zoom or online classes?
Yes. Just record the audio through your smartphone's mic. Soniox will transcribe and analyze Hebrew speech in real-time.
Do I need to configure Hebrew manually before using the app?
No. Just press record and start listening. Soniox App automatically detects Hebrew and any other language in the room — including mid-sentence switches — without any manual configuration.
Will it work if there are multiple Hebrew speakers or panel discussions?
Yes. Soniox automatically detects and labels different speakers so you can follow who said what, even in fast-paced Hebrew discussions.
What if the speakers switch languages mid-lecture?
Soniox automatically detects and translates 60+ languages, even mid-sentence — so you never lose the thread when your Hebrew professor quotes another language.
Can it handle technical or scientific Hebrew?
Yes. Soniox's domain intelligence understands specialized Hebrew terms, acronyms, and context across academic subjects — from chemistry to computer science.
Is Soniox App free to use as a student?
Yes. You get free credits every week — enough for regular use. For heavier use during exam season, Soniox Pro gives you unlimited transcription. Learn more on our pricing page.
Is my data private?
