- Dagesh handling
Gematria
- Standard Mispar Hechrachi values
- Supports all Hebrew letters including sofit forms
- Works with or without nikud
Nikud Removal
- Removes all Hebrew vowel points and cantillation marks
- Preserves base letters
- Handles composite characters
Letter Names
- Returns English names for each Hebrew letter
- Sofit forms identified (e.g., "Mem Sofit")
- Non-Hebrew characters preserved
Hebrew Number Formatting
- Converts integers to Hebrew letters (Gematria style)
- Standard abbreviations (e.g., תרי"ג for 613)
- Range: 1–999
Python API
from scripts.hebrew_tools import transliterate, gematria, remove_nikud
# Transliterate
print(transliterate("תורה")) # "torah"
# Gematria
print(gematria("חי")) # 18
# Remove nikud
clean = remove_nikud("בְּרֵאשִׁית")
print(clean) # "בראשית"Limitations
- Transliteration is Ashkenazi-style; Sephardi variants not yet supported
- Hebrew number formatting only supports 1–999
- RTL reversal is basic (word-level, not character-level for mixed text)
