JAWS 2019 and later users can download a Hebrew voice that will pronounce words using Israeli pronunciation. The synthetic speech will process modern and biblical Hebrew alike and is excellent in quality. For braille support of biblical Hebrew, please see other pages on this site.
Male and female Vocalizer voices that use modern Greek pronunciation are available to download as well. Visit the Freedom Scientific downloads page and choose the voice you wish to use. Please note that if you have studied Biblical Greek in a university setting and have never been exposed to modern Greek, this pronunciation will sound very different from what you are accustomed to. These voices do not handle breathings or pronounce the accent names as they are used in American Greek courses. Some accent names are completely ignored. Likewise, when JAWS encounters accented characters that are not part of the modern Greek system, it will completely ignore the letter and pronounce only the surrounding consonants. For this reason, I strongly recommend using a braille display when studying Greek.
Setting Up Your Hebrew Voice Profile in JAWS 16 or Later
Once you have downloaded the Hebrew and/or Greek voice, set your voice profile to Vocalizer and set your profile so that each language enabled for your computer uses an appropriate Vocalizer voice. JAWS will now read text automatically using the appropriate voice whenever it encounters it. You may download voices for as mnay languages as you wish, and JAWS will detect the proper voice for the language you are reading.
Note: It is not possible to switch automatically between foreign language Vocalizer and English Eloquence. You can, however, do this manually if you wish to use Eloquence while reading a document that is entirely in English. Eloquence will ignore foreign language text.
If you wish to have Hebrew and Greek characters read as you type, simply set JAWS to announce all characters as you type.
