Dicta

About this app

The Nakdan tool is designed for Modern texts, Poetry, and Rabbinic literature (Mishnaic and Talmudic sages, the Rishonim / Medieval rabbinic texts and the Aharonim / early modern rabbinic texts) - texts that are not written according to normative contemporary standards of Modern Hebrew.

1- Choose a text genre: Modern / Rabbinic / Poetic
2- Input a text and select “vocalize” (nikkud) to apply nikkud automatically to the text.
3- Edit Nikkud: Double tap on a word will display the nikkud editor menu which includes additional vocalization options and manual nikkud options.
4- Additional options: Here you can view a list of alternate possibilities for each nikkud form.
5- Manual Nikkud: Here you can edit the nikkud with a virtual nikkud keyboard.
6- Copy text: To copy the text, press on the “pages”/”copy” icon on the left side of the screen
7- Matres Lectiones (“Helping vowel letters”): To display matres lectiones (yod and vav as vowels), press the three dots that appear on the upper left side of the screen.

Ratings and reviews

I use the app mostly for general texting, and it works brilliantly. The automatic nikud, added as you type, is almost always correct and even accounts for context and latin/slang words. Each word also has a quick choice menu with all relevant variants, so adjusting and fixing the rare inaccuracies is fast and easy.

It used to be an excellent tool for those of us interested in adding vocalization to Hebrew texts, however, it recently stopped working properly, displaying the "Loading, please wait" message for a few seconds, only to show an empty white screen afterwards.

I needed a way to type Hebrew Nikud. Nakdan does this absolutely well. I didn't need to type vowels. The various suggestions were amazing and spot on. What a blessing! The app is beneficial. Works well with Docs or Slides, FB, IG, picture editors and WhatsApp chat and status! Todah rabah! It is 5 star!
