It sells online for $159 (comprable to Dagesh Pro), but discounts are available if you’re upgrading from a previous version. The competition for the best Hebrew word processor on Windows will likely continue as each company improves its product, but for now the answer is DavkaWriter.
I tested it on Windows 7, Vista and XP without any problems. Whether you’re looking to use a Hebrew word precessor for scholarship or simply to type a few Hebrew words in a Hebrew font, DavkaWriter 7 is exceptionally easy to use. It also comes with the Rashi commentary on the Chumash. It features an accurate display of Hebrew vowels and cantillation marks, as well as a built-in text library of vocalized Hebrew texts (including the Tanakh, Mishnah and Siddur with the text of the Torah and Haftarah readings). However, now the majority of those features are available within the DavkaWriter app itself.ĭavkaWriter 7 includes screen capture, draggable document tabs, and a zoom slider for instant page adjustment. In ealier versions of DavkaWriter, I found myself copying the text and pasting it into Word so I would have the use of all of Microsoft’s features. Many of the improvements in DavkaWriter 7 are features that users have become accustomed to in Microsoft Word. They did a complete redesign of the application, allowing it to run faster and be much more user-friendly. It has over 25 new features and enhancements.

The latest version of Nisus came out in May and boasts the abilty to track changes within the document. It comes with over 100 fonts and has a very good Microsoft Word filter and can save documents as HTML code.įor the Mac, Nisus Writer Pro (from Nisus Software, Inc.) is an impressive application. Some of its impressive features include adding vowels automatically and the ability to include trope marks (cantillation notes). I’ve had a chance to work with many of the Hebrew word processor applications out there and used Dagesh Pro (from TES Software) for many years and found it to be very good.
For years, there hasn’t been just one Hebrew word processor that really stands out. When it comes to typing a document in Hebrew (or mixing Hebrew text with English), there are a handful of options on the market. When it comes to typing a document in English, the most popular choice is certainly Microsoft Word, with a minority of law firms and businesses still using WordPerfect. When I was in rabbinical school, I remember the arguments we had (students and teachers) over which is the best Hebrew word processor. The transliteration follows the Sephardic pronunciation.One might think that rabbinical students spend much of their days sitting in the beit midrash arguing over sections of the Talmud containing the debates of the medieval sages. Please Note: This product contains only the English transliteration, the original Hebrew text is NOT included.
Ideal for those leading or participating in beginners' services, synagogues, youth groups, and individuals! The text is clearly arranged and marked, and can be used with other existing Davka Hebrew texts to create Machzorim, worksheets, and study guides.
