You can enter Hebrew characters either by clicking on the appropriate 'key' in the diagram, or by using the diagram to find the proper key on your keyboard. When Visual Keyboard is running and you switch your keyboard to Hebrew, the screen shows a diagram of the Hebrew keyboard layout. Once you have installed Visual Keyboard, it is part of Microsoft Office Tools. Alternatively, for help with using the Hebrew keyboard layout with your usual keyboard in applications within Microsoft Office 2000 or higher, you can use Microsoft's Visual Keyboard software available for free download at:

If you are new to working with Hebrew on your computer, you may wish to acquire a special Hebrew keyboard to facilitate doing Hebrew data entry. You can enter a Hebrew character directly in DBT by pressing Alt+F9 followed by its four-digit Dusci number then Enter see the help topic Miscellaneous - Special characters. If you have a different source (not a Word document) of Hebrew text encoded in Unicode, such as a web page, an e-mail message, a file written in DavkaWriter or another third party word processor, etc., save that material in Microsoft Word 2000 or higher in order to create a file that you can bring into DBT for translation into braille. You must use Word 2000 or higher to meet the requirement of Unicode encoding for Hebrew characters. If DBT imports Hebrew characters of that kind, it recognizes them as the ordinary ASCII characters, not as the characters shown in the Hebrew font. Other encodings for Hebrew simply assign a Hebrew font to ordinary ASCII characters. In addition, when creating the Word document containing Hebrew, Word must use the Unicode encoding for Hebrew. Therefore, translating a Hebrew document into braille in DBT requires bringing the Hebrew document from Word into DBT. The system for bringing Hebrew text into DBT requires the use of DBT's importer for Microsoft Word documents. The American Computer Braille Code (CBC) is also supported. These tables support some secondary languages as well. the print-to-braille translation supports the production of uncontracted Hebrew braille and contracted or uncontracted English braille following American standards.

The Hebrew/American Uncontracted tables support print-to-braille translation of Hebrew-language and English-language literary text, following the conventions used by the Jewish Braille Institute of America (JBI) in New York, New York.
