This isn't real Hebrew'only back transcription but a funny thing
happened. I just used a homebrew* input method in Emacs where the
characters (glyphs) are arbitrarily assigned to similar sounding English
letters (phonemes, not the standard Israeli keyboard layout, I'm
sure.)and when I copypasted they were automagically written in right to
left order in this reply made with the Thunderbird email program. If you
can't see the glyphs try using Arial Unicode as a default font.
Code2000, Gentium, and a few others should work too.

If anyone here uses Emacs (especially if she also knows Hebrew, here is
the input method:
