I think you need to provide a bit more information, here:
Is the student attending law school in Israel?  If so, where is she
located?
Does she necessarily need a screen reader? Or might she not cope better
using easier TTS software that reads Hebrew text?
In any case, the best TTS at present is Kolan--Kolan is used in Israel's
screen reader system--Virgo--as well as several text reading and
enlargement software. Kolan has replaced an earlier TTS that performed
pretty poorly.
There is also a new scanning/ text reading system called Almog which is
very easy to use; it also uses Kolan TTS.

If the student is located in Israel, our Center or another group can
probably introduce her to some of this AT. If outside of the country, I
can point you to a few vendors.

So if you can provide a bit more detail, perhaps I can help,

Hi

I recently carried out a needs assessment for a dyslexic Israeli Law
student who intends to use Hebrew Texts for some of her course tasks.
She'd benefit from an OCR/screen reader setup that will handle both
Hebrew and English.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Regards
