Hello Zivan,
>From Adi's message it doesn't appear to be there at this point. However, keep in mind that iOS 7 is still in Beta and something could still change even at this late stage although it may appear not to be the case. Apple has sent out invitations to the media for their event next Tuesday, September 10, where the new iPhones will be introduced. The iOS 7 Gold Master which often is also the same as the first public release will come out either this week or at the latest next Tuesday with the public release to follow a week or so later possibly around September 17 or 19. If the Hebrew voice is not in the Gold Master release then it definitely won't be there although this doesn't mean Apple couldn't add it in one of the iOS 7 updates.

This week I submitted a funding request for an iPad, based on the rumors that IOS 7 will come with the Carmit Hebrew TTS. If indeed Carmit will not be included with IOS 7, this will be a great disappointment. I work mostly with seniors and most of them do not understand enough English to use VoiceOver. I do have a couple of students that bring in their own iPads, but they have enough remaining vision to use it with Zoom. At the moment all I can offer blind students that just want to go online and use e-mail is a Windows PC with JAWS. A very expensive proposition. For many of them an IOS device with Hebrew TTS would suffice. There are Android alternatives in the making, but those would include buying a third party TTS. I also think that at the moment IOS with VoiceOver, offers a more mature screen reading solution then Android. If Apple doesn't release Carmit with IOS 7, they will lose the momentum in the Israeli market and we'll end up opening an Android class instead.
