How to Type Hebrew Online — Free Virtual Keyboard

Hebrew is spoken by over 9 million people, primarily in Israel. The Hebrew alphabet consists of 22 consonants written right-to-left, with optional vowel marks (niqqud) used in children's books, poetry, and religious texts. If you need to type Hebrew and don't have a Hebrew keyboard installed, AnyKeyboard makes it simple.

Whether you're a student learning Hebrew, communicating with family in Israel, writing religious texts, or doing business in the Israeli market, having quick access to a Hebrew keyboard is essential. Installing a system-level Hebrew keyboard requires changing your OS settings and learning a completely new layout — or you can just open AnyKeyboard in your browser.

AnyKeyboard's Hebrew keyboard gives you the standard Israeli Hebrew layout directly in your browser. Every letter from א (alef) to ת (tav) is available with a single click or keystroke.

1. Open the keyboard: Visit our Hebrew keyboard page and start typing immediately.

2. Type or click: Use the on-screen keyboard or your physical keyboard with our smart mapping system. The layout follows the standard Hebrew keyboard used in Israel.

3. Copy your text: Click the copy button or use Ctrl+C to copy your Hebrew text. Paste it anywhere — emails, documents, social media, or chat apps.

The standard Hebrew keyboard layout places the most common Hebrew letters in accessible positions. The top row includes letters like ק, ר, א, ט, and the home row has ש, ד, ג, כ, ע. Unlike English, Hebrew is typed right-to-left, but the keyboard itself is laid out in the same physical arrangement.

Some key differences from English keyboards include: the period and comma are accessed with Shift, and special final forms of letters (sofit) like ך, ם, ן, ף, ץ appear when the letter ends a word.

If you know Hebrew pronunciation but haven't memorized the standard keyboard layout, try our Hebrew phonetic keyboard. Type "shalom" in English letters and get "שלום" — the keyboard transliterates based on how words sound.

Practice with these common phrases: שלום (shalom — hello/peace), תודה (toda — thank you), בוקר טוב (boker tov — good morning), להתראות (lehitraot — goodbye), מה שלומך (ma shlomcha — how are you).

Right-to-left text can be tricky when mixed with English or numbers. Most modern apps handle bidirectional text (bidi) automatically, but if your text looks scrambled after pasting, make sure your target application supports RTL text. Our keyboard handles the text direction correctly so you can focus on typing.

For niqqud (vowel marks), you can use the Hebrew keyboard's special character options. These are particularly useful for children's educational materials, poetry, or religious texts where vocalization marks are expected.
