Every day, thousands of shiurim are given across the world, filled with chiddushim, halacha, and divrei Torah. But most of this Torah only exists in audio recordings, making it hard to search, review, share, and impossible to print for Shabbos or for notes. If you hear something gevaldik in a shiur, how can you esaily find it later? How can rabbanim turn their shiurim into notes or even seforim? And maybe most importantly, how will this Torah be preserved for future generations?

Introducing Sofer.Ai

Sofer.Ai is the intelligent transcription service designed for the Torah community. Most transcription tools struggle with Torah language – mixing up Hebrew, Aramaic, and English, miswriting pesukim and Gemara phrases, and creating messy, unusable text. That’s where Sofer.Ai stands out.

Built specifically to transcribe shiurim, Sofer.Ai handles the mixed languages prevalent in the Jewish community. Just upload an audio file, and within minutes, Sofer.Ai will transform the shiur into clear, readable text.

“We know how important it is to preserve Torah without any mistakes, and we understand the hesitation around AI,” says Zach Fish, CEO of Sofer.Ai. “That’s why we designed the system so that every word in the text remains synced with the original audio. You can click on any part of the transcript and instantly hear that moment in the shiur. This allows for searching, reviewing, following along while listening, and easily making corrections when needed – ensuring the transcript remains accurate and verifiable”

Who is Using Sofer.Ai?

Sofer.Ai is already being used by:

• Baalei batim wanting to print shiurim for Shabbos, review Torah they learned on the go, follow along with a transcript while listening – or simply those who prefer reading on their own.

• Yeshiva and kollel yungerleit needing to organize their learning and notes.

• Rabbanim and maggidei shiur yearning to create notes, source sheets, or even seforim.

• Torah institutions looking to store, search, and share shiurim more easily, often using other AI tools to transform the transcript into structured content.

• Families hoping preserve and share Holocaust testimonials or divrei zikaron, ensuring that these powerful stories can be passed down for generations.

Sofer.Ai’s Mission

“The mission of Sofer.Ai is simple: using technology to make Torah as accessible as possible,” says Fish. “Whether it’s improving transcription accuracy, adding new features, or making it easier to share Torah, we are constantly working on the Sofer.Ai platform to enhance the way people learn and engage with Torah. The Jewish community deserves a top-tier platform to manage and preserve our most important and valuable asset – Torah.”

WhatsApp Voice Notes – More Ways to Use This Technology

Sofer.Ai also offers a WhatsApp bot, making it easy to transcribe not just Torah, but everyday voice notes as well –especially for chevra with a “yeshivishe shprach.” If you don’t have time to listen at the moment just forward the voice note to the Sofer.Ai contact, and the bot will quickly transcribe it and send back the text. It seamlessly handles the mixed languages we use every day, ensuring nothing gets lost in translation.

Sofer.Ai is even offering a free one-month trial.
