Samedoc (English)Why Hebrew PDFs break most translators
Two things: right-to-left layout, and broken text. A Hebrew page reads right to left, so a translator that keeps every word in place can leave English in a mirrored layout, or reverse it. And Israeli payroll and bank software often embeds fonts whose characters are stored in a broken way. In the payslip above, only 678 of 1,710 characters come out as Hebrew; the rest are symbols like ∑≈›. Tools that read the text layer translate the symbols.
Samedoc reads the page the way you see it, so broken text doesn't matter, and it can switch the layout to left-to-right so the English reads naturally.
Five translators, one Hebrew payslip

Questions
Does it work on scanned Hebrew letters?
Yes. Scans and phone photos of letters from Bituach Leumi, the tax authority, banks and employers. See translating a scanned PDF.
Will the English read left to right?
Yes, if you want it to. Switch on the left-to-right layout and Samedoc flips the page so the English reads naturally. Leave it off to keep the original right-to-left layout.
Is the translation certified for aliyah, a visa or a court?
No. Samedoc translations are made with AI. Give the Samedoc copy to a qualified translator to review and sign; it saves them most of the work. A professional manual review is available at extra cost.
