Hi Greg and others, there is not official support for Hebrew neither through voice nor braille. However, I found out that when you choose a European non-English braille table (German, Spanish etc) you can read Hebrew text in braille. This is true both for Mac and IOS devices. The drawback is to get used to European notation for digits, punctuations and other symbols, but except that it works well. The cecimac tables are not relevant beyond Snow Leopard. Concerning voice, for now there is no solution. Vocalizer Expressive includes a Hebrew voice named Karmit but rumors say that Apple insists that Nuance will build a voice separation mechanism. By voice separation I mean that English text will be spoken by English voice and Hebrew text by Hebrew voice. Whether this rumor is true ot not, I hope Apple will include Hebrew support to Voiceover as soon as possible. Thanks, Rafi.

I found an old post in the archives that list a supported package for international braille codes but it looked like it was for Snow Leopard. The link is http://www.cecimac.org/english.htm Does anyone know of anything more recent or will this package still work for me in mavericks? In VO utility I see support for many international braille codes but not hebrew. A TTS voice would be a nice bonus, but the braille is more important to me. Any tips?
