Yiddish translation,
recordings and documents

I transcribe and translate Yiddish recordings into English, Hebrew or French, with timecodes your editor can work from. I also translate documents between Hebrew, Yiddish, English and French.

Hasidic and Litvish Yiddish, older speakers, people talking over each other, English mixed in.

Yiddish recordings

For documentary and TV producers, subtitling companies, translation agencies, archives and families who have a recording nobody around them can understand.

What I work from

  • Interviews and testimonies
  • Documentary and TV raw footage
  • Family recordings and old tapes
  • Lectures, sermons and readings

What you get

  • A timecoded Word table, ready for the edit
  • SRT subtitles
  • The Yiddish transcript in Yiddish letters
  • The translation on its own, if that is all you need

Already have an old transcript or translation? I can check it against the recording, tell you which part belongs to which file, and mark where it does not match what was said.

How it works

  1. 1

    Send a sample and your deadline

    A minute of the recording or a page of the document is enough to judge it.

  2. 2

    You get a quote the same day

    Per audio minute for recordings, per word for documents. Rush deadlines are fine; say when you need it.

  3. 3

    NDA before the files

    I sign your NDA before you send anything. Files are deleted when the job is done.

  4. 4

    Delivery in parts

    On a long job you get the first part early, so your editor can start before the rest arrives.
