Auto-Transliteration: Letter by Letter, Hebrew to ''English''

**Know Hebrew? PDF? Great!** I need software which accepts (what appears to be) Unicode, representing Hebrew letters, and converts them to English-like sound descriptions (transliteration). Luckily, Hebrew is a very phonetic language, so this will be far easier than if this had to be done for another language. I have a PDF which represents over a thousand pages of Hebrew. I'm able to select sections of the Hebrew, e.g., ![][1] and then copy and paste the data to other applications, where it appears like this: ![][2] Clearly, it's a one-to-one correspondence, e.g., note the repetition for the vet-ay-yud combination. I want to be able to auto-transliterate this into something like, "Ahsh-ray yosh-vey vey-teh-_h_ah. Ode Y'hal-loo-_h_ah seh-lah." ## Deliverables Software should run on any Windows-based machine, and require a minimum of "plug-ins", if any. e.g., Would strongly prefer to not require .Net, Java, etc. The interface should be simple and straight-forward. * * *I'm pretty flexible and easy to work with.
