Kavanati for law firms: Hebrew documents, English names, no gibberish
Last updated: 19 October 2026 · 4 min read
akuo becomes שלום, רקאשןמקר becomes retainer), in Word, Outlook, the browser and your case-management system, and the text is processed on the computer itself, never sent anywhere.The actual pain
Nobody in a law firm lacks the skill to type. The problem is the switch. You finish an English email to the other side's counsel, open the Hebrew draft, and the first line of the brief comes out as ,chgv. You search the document system for a client and get nothing, because the name was typed in the wrong layout. Case numbers survive, since digits are the same on both layouts, but the letters next to them do not, and a wrong letter in a reference is the kind of thing that gets filed and found later.
| Where you are | What you wanted | What came out |
|---|---|---|
| Word, Hebrew brief | תביעה | ,chgv |
| Outlook, to a client | שלום | akuo |
| Word, Hebrew brief | הסכם שכירות | vxfo afhru, |
| Outlook, to foreign counsel | retainer | רקאשןמקר |
| Word, quoted clause | affidavit | שככןגשהןא |
What Kavanati does about it
1. It fixes the word, not the whole document
When you finish a word that is clearly wrong-layout typing, Kavanati deletes it, retypes it in the language you meant and switches the keyboard, so the rest of the sentence comes out right. It only acts on a word that cannot be a real word in the language you were typing; a real English term inside a Hebrew sentence (a company name, a Latin phrase) is left alone.
2. It works where lawyers actually type
Word, Outlook, the browser, a document-management or case-management system, a chat window: Kavanati listens at the keyboard, so it does not depend on the program. Programs you never want touched can be set to English-only, Hebrew-only or off under Per-app rules in the tray menu.
3. Every fix is reversible
Ctrl+Z right after a fix puts back exactly what you typed. Undo the same word twice and it is protected for good; a word you type three times joins your personal dictionary (Pro). A selection can always be flipped by hand with Pause or a double Ctrl, free and unlimited.
4. Confidentiality is built in, not promised
Detection runs on the computer. The text you type, client names and case details included, is never sent to us or to anyone. The only network calls are the update check and the license check. The security page lists what you can verify yourself.
For the managing partner or the office IT
- One key for the whole office. A Business key covers N computers; each computer activates silently, with no sign-in per user.
- Silent deployment. The key is set by registry policy (which you can push with Group Policy or Intune), a license file or an MDM profile. Updates can be switched off centrally if you control updates yourself. The deployment guide has the details.
- Privacy review. Everything is local; there is no cloud account to approve and no document content leaving the network. See /security for the full list of what the app does and does not do.
- Price. Business is from ₪25 per computer per month, billed yearly, cheaper at volume, and organizations get a free 30-day pilot before paying anything.
What it does not do
It does not read your screen, store your documents or upload anything. It fixes Hebrew ↔ English typing only, not spelling or grammar, and it will not touch a real word. It is not a legal-specific product and does not know your case-management system; it just fixes the keyboard underneath it. On a remote or virtual desktop it needs to be installed on the side where you type.
