Hi Mauricio. My name is Laurel. I study foreign languages at a university here in the states. If you want to learn Arabic, there is a screen reader. Voice over on the apple mac and the ios devices, iPone, iPad, iPod etc includes support for over 30 languages including Arabic. I use this to study Arabic myself and it works great. I also know Arabic braille so I could help you with that. If you wish to contact me privately, my email is laurel.stockard at gmail.com. I would be happy to help you in any way that I can.
