- Shamati (שמעתי) means I heard in Hebrew
- Capstone project for PDX Code Guild
This project will attempt to help English speakers learn Hebrew. The user does NOT need to know how to read or write in Hebrew, though it would be beneficial to them in the long run. In my early Arabic-learning days, I would use the website Fuzzy Arabic as a tool to help me discover words that I had heard in Arabic, but did not know the meaning to, nor if I had even heard it correctly. Shamati takes a word or combination of sounds that the user hears/heard, typed phonetically in Latin script, and offers a list of possible Hebrew words. The list will include each word's meaning, root letters, transliteration, and part of speech.
