Biblical Hebrew · Greek in preparation
Read it in the original, not about it.
Recognition is not reading. Here you produce the language — every consonant, vowel and dagesh typed by hand and checked against the text itself. The first lesson assumes nothing, and no keystroke is ever graded as a bare “incorrect.”
Free while in beta. Desktop, for now — pointing needs a real keyboard.

created — bet takes a dagesh
Last attempt dropped the dagesh in בּ. It is silent in modern pronunciation, so the eye has to carry it.

How it works
Three steps, in the order that actually works. Most apps skip the first one entirely.
Learn the keyboard first
Typing pointed Hebrew is its own skill, and nothing teaches it — so that is where we start. The SBL layout, key by key, with an on-screen guide until your hands stop looking.
Produce the text, letter by letter
Consonants, then final forms, then vowels, then real words from the Hebrew Bible. Every target is an attested form, never one invented to fill a drill.
See exactly where you diverged
The grader compares your keystrokes to the text codepoint by codepoint. A missed dagesh is marked as a missed dagesh, and the next drills come back to it until it sticks.
Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος
John 1:1

Greek is being prepared.
The keyboard module, the drills and the grader all work the same way for Greek — accents and breathings get the care that pointing gets in Hebrew. When it opens, your account already has it.
