[Athen] Help with Hebrew Vocabulary with JAWS

[Andrea L. Dietrich]

I don’t know about JAWS specifically, but I recently discovered that Immersive Reader mode that’s built into Microsoft 365 programs does a very good job reading Hebrew with its built-in text-to-speech, so maybe that’s something this student could use in conjunction with JAWS.

Subject: [Athen] Help with Hebrew Vocabulary with JAWS

 Hi everyone,

I have a colleague who is trying to help a blind student with Hebrew vocabulary.  They have PDFs of needed text to use in JAWS but it seems like JAWS has trouble dealing with the Hebrew.
Does anyone have any thoughts?

thanks
