Judith,
In its current release, Jaws offers synthesized voices you can switch
among
that will read many different languages properly in voices that don't
sound
like the Jaws eloquence voice. The roster of these voices is called
RealSpeak Solo. You can learn all about this by visiting
http:///www.freedomscientific.om
and then clicking on Jaws central, then finding the item about what's new
in
Jaws 10 and a link there to a page all about the RealSpeak Solo voice,
including a long list of individual voices in many languages that you can
download and install and then switch back and forth among while you're
working, including switching back to your Eloquence voice, too. There are
a
number of languages represented, but I don't recall whether I saw Hebrew
listed among them last time I was at that page.
Hope this help,
Joel

Ben, Instead of announcing the foreign letter, in this case, "Shin", what
if
they read the entire sentence in the language it was written in without
announcing each letter? For example, there is a web site, "Aishe.com".
Jaws reads the foreign word "Aishe" as it is written in English, but what
if
it read the same Hebrew word using Hebrew characters without announcing
each
letter? These same problems arise with languages like Japanese, Chinese
and
Arabic. Judith

As some already may know, I'm very big on languages. I don't know how
this
is done, but Windoweyes 7 speaks the name of the unicode character as it
sees it, pretty much no matter the writing system. For example, for a
Hebrew letter sheen, it would say, "Hebrew letter shin". If Jaws were to
even implement that? Oh? Baybeh!

Nancy,
I know there are 2 versions of Turbo Tax, one that is installed on a
computer and one that is online. Which one did you use, and was it
perfectly accessible with JAWS 9.0?
George B. recently posted on the list that he uses Quicken 2009, but he
didn't give us any details on how JAWS friendly it is. FS hasn't
supported Quicken for several versions now, and as far as I can recall,
they never supported Turbo Tax. It's nice to know that folks are using
these programs, but additional details about ease of use would be
helpful. Inquiring minds want to know!

I actually used Turbo tax to do my taxes last year. I'm using Jaws 9.
