Hi Jürgen,

I'm not aware of any Hebrew voices available for either the Mac or the iPhone 
(through text to speech).  For the Mac, the VoiceOver compatible voices that I 
know of that support languages with non-Latin input characters are for Greek, 
Russian, and Arabic (from Assistiveware's Infovox iVox voices -- these are the 
Acapela group's voices), and Japanese (from a separate DTalker Japanese web 
site).  The iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad platforms support additional voices, 
including some with non-Latin input characters such as Chinese.  However, the 
iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad does not, as far as I know have a Hebrew voice, although 
it will support a Hebrew input keyboard.  A few iPhone translation apps will 
support spoken reading of languages with non-Latin input which are not even 
supported on the iPhone.  For example, Trippo VoiceMagix has a spoken voice for 
Thai (which is supported for keyboard input, but not for voice), but also for 
Hindi (which is not supported for either keyboard input in the Devnagari 
script, nor for voice on the iPhone).  I don't know of any current iPhone or 
iPad apps that support a Hebrew text to speech voice, though.

I'd be interested to learn if any Mac users who run Windows under a virtual 
machine like VMWare Fusion use Windows-specific voices to read non-Latin input 
text.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther
