You can get French voice fonts for TextHELP! but, last time I
checked, a lexicon was not available.
A French lexicon for Word can be purchased for about stlg50 fro MS and
you can also consider the Oxford Hachette French Dictionary which is
available on CDROM for stlg43.
If the student needs OCR the package provided with the
scanner can be upgraded to Caere OmniPage Pro 6.0 / 7.0 and it can be
useful to add the Caere French Language dictionary. This helps when
attempting to recognise unfamiliar foreign words.
