## What is Paleo Pro?

Paleo Pro is a Hebrew learning app for the original script of Hebrew, the 22 letters of Paleo-Hebrew, the script of the Bayis Rishon period.

LEARN Browse all 22 letters in a clean grid or list. Each letter has its own page tracing its history from Proto-Canaanite through Phoenician and Paleo-Hebrew to the modern letter. Copy the Paleo glyph, or long-press for Modern, Unicode, and HTML options.

SHARE Share any letter as a card showing its full history, ready to send to anyone.

PLAY A 10-question quiz that alternates direction (modern to paleo, paleo to modern). Track your history and see which letters you've mastered.

CONVERT Type modern Hebrew, read Paleo. Or paste Paleo and read modern. Options for niqqud removal, word-divider dots, final letter forms, and inscription cleanup. Convert text shared from any other app with the Share extension.

KEYBOARD A system-wide Paleo Hebrew keyboard you can switch to in any app. Dual-script keys, native iOS 26 styling, full RTL support.

LETTERFORMS Choose from historical scribal hands and see them everywhere: the keyboard, the converter, and the game.

WIDGETS Add a Letter of the Day to your Home and Lock Screen, see a letter's evolution at a glance, or jump straight to Learn, Play, or Convert.

ACROSS iOS Siri Shortcuts, Spotlight search, Handoff, and quick actions. iCloud keeps your progress and history in sync across your devices.

ABOUT A rich background on the script, the Siloam Inscription, the Tel Dan Stele, the First Jewish War shekel, with copyable Paleo text samples from each.

### 5/5 — High IQ developer

### 5/5 — Thrilled!

*2026-02-02*

So happy and thrilled to learn a new language, especially the one back from our creator/savior times.

### 5/5 — Excellent for basic learning & practice

*2025-12-11*

This app is great for practicing the individual symbols and being able to connect them directly to the standard Hebrew/Aramaic script used in later times and today. 
The simple game is great for basic practice between the scripts. 
The transliteration feature is also great. 
The interface is visually appealing and user friendly. The keyboard add-on feature made my day. 
It would be amazing to have some reading passages and more advanced practice games with words, phrases, or even short passages to make the app even more effective and useful for learning.
